Features: Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) was a renowned German philosopher in the 20th century and one of the founders of existentialist philosophy. This book outlines the core ideas of the author's philosophy of existence through three short lectures. Through his elaboration on the problem of existence, the problem of truth, and the problem of reality, the author advocates observing reality from the original and grasping reality through inner actions. At a time when fascist rule threatened human existence, this book issued a call in pure philosophical language to emphasize human survival and highlight human freedom.
