Podcast appearances and mentions of Karl Jaspers

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Jerry L. Martin explores the idea that humanity may be entering a New Axial Age: a new era of spiritual transformation shaped by globalization, interreligious encounter, and expanding spiritual consciousness.Drawing from philosopher Karl Jaspers, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Robert Bellah, and Theology Without Walls, he reflects on whether the world's religions represent competing systems of belief or different dimensions of divine revelation.Beginning with the remarkable story of Saint Josaphat — a Christian saint whose story traces back to the Buddha — this episode explores “religion in the singular,” mystical experience, comparative religion, and the possibility that spiritual truth has always moved dynamically across cultures and traditions.What happens when inherited religious boundaries begin to loosen? Could humanity be moving toward a more open and interconnected understanding of spiritual reality?Get the books: Radically Personal: God and Ourselves in the New Axial Age | God: An Autobiography, As Told to a Philosopher*********We continue these spiritual and philosophical conversations through Ultimate Questions, a public discussion project of Theology Without Walls on Substack.Join the conversation and share your perspective on life's deepest questions: https://ultimatequestions.substack.com*********Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:Radically Personal: Reflections on lived experience, divine encounter, and personal vocation, drawing on a seeker-centered approach to spirituality in a new Axial Age.From God to Jerry to You: Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue: Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story: Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind: Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God: A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.The Life Wisdom Project: Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.What's On Your Mind: Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare: questions@godanautobiography.comUltimate Questions SubstackGet the books: God: An Autobiography, Radically PersonalShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

The philosopher Karl Jaspers wrote a little book called Man in the Modern Age, where, among other things, he talks about what it means to be a hero in our modern age, something, I think, we'd do well to reflect on a bit! ...

Diese Quellen bieten eine umfassende Analyse des Lebens und Wirkens von Hannah Arendt, einer der bedeutendsten politischen Theoretikerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sie beleuchten ihre intellektuelle Entwicklung unter dem Einfluss von Martin Heidegger und Karl Jaspers sowie ihre Flucht vor dem Nationalsozialismus in die USA. Ein zentraler Schwerpunkt liegt auf ihrem kontroversen Konzept der „Banalität des Bösen“, das sie während des Prozesses gegen Adolf Eichmann entwickelte, um die Mitschuld gewöhnlicher Menschen an systematischen Gräueltaten zu erklären. Zudem thematisieren die Texte ihr Hauptwerk Vita activa, in dem sie menschliche Tätigkeiten in Arbeiten, Herstellen und Handeln unterteilt und die Bedeutung des öffentlichen Raums betont. Insgesamt zeichnen die Dokumente das Bild einer Denkerin, die sich unermüdlich mit der menschlichen Freiheit, der moralischen Verantwortung und den Gefahren des Totalitarismus auseinandersetzte.Hannah Arendts Konzept der Banalität des Bösen entstand aus ihrer Beobachtung des Prozesses gegen den SS-Obersturmbannführer Adolf Eichmann im Jahr 1961 in Jerusalem. Statt des erwarteten „Monsters“ oder eines dämonischen Bösewichts fand Arendt in Eichmann einen erschreckend gewöhnlichen Bürokraten vor, der in Klischees sprach und sich auf Befehle und Vorschriften berief.Hier sind die zentralen Aspekte dieses Konzepts:Der Kern der Banalität liegt laut Arendt in der Gedankenlosigkeit (Gedankenlosigkeit). Eichmann handelte nicht aus tiefem Hass oder einer bösartigen Ideologie, sondern er hatte seine Fähigkeit zum eigenständigen moralischen Urteil aufgegeben. Er stellte sich nie die Sokratische Frage des inneren Dialogs: „Was tue ich hier eigentlich und was bedeutet es?“. Das Böse resultierte also nicht aus einer besonderen Verderbtheit, sondern aus dem bloßen Ausbleiben des Denkens.Arendt unterschied strikt zwischen den Taten und der Person: Während die Taten katastrophal und monströs waren, war der Mann, der sie ausführte, im moralischen Sinne ein „Niemand“. Sie bezeichnete das Böse als ein Oberflächenphänomen, das keine Tiefe oder radikale Wurzeln besitzt. Ein Dämon wäre in einem moralischen Universum zumindest noch begreifbar; ein „Niemand“ wie Eichmann, der lediglich als Relaisstation für Mord fungiert, ist weitaus beängstigender, da diese Form des Versagens theoretisch jedem Menschen offensteht.Ein entscheidendes Defizit Eichmanns war die Unfähigkeit zum repräsentativen Denken (sich vorstellen). Dies ist die Fähigkeit, sich die Standpunkte anderer Menschen zu vergegenwärtigen, um das eigene Urteil zu prüfen und zu erweitern. Eichmann konnte sich die Welt nicht aus der Perspektive derer vorstellen, die er in den Tod schickte. Für Arendt ist diese imaginative Disziplin jedoch die Grundlage jeglichen politischen und moralischen Urteilens.Vor dem Eichmann-Prozess hatte Arendt noch den Begriff des Radikal Bösen (in Anlehnung an Kant) verwendet, was eine Perversion des moralischen Willens implizierte. Mit der „Banalität“ beschrieb sie nun etwas aus ihrer Sicht Schlimmeres: Böses, das ganz ohne Willen oder Absicht geschieht, einfach weil der Einzelne als „Rädchen“ in einem bürokratischen System funktioniert.Das Konzept löste einen gewaltigen Sturm der Entrüstung aus.Kritik von Jaspers: Ihr Mentor Karl Jaspers befürchtete, das Wort „Banalität“ könne das Gewicht der Verbrechen mindern oder sie als rein administrativ und damit handhabbar erscheinen lassen.Eichmanns wahre Natur: Spätere Historiker wie Bettina Stangneth argumentierten, Eichmann sei keineswegs ein gedankenloser Bürokrat gewesen, sondern ein überzeugter antisemitischer Ideologe, der seine Rolle im Prozess lediglich performte.Die Rolle der Judenräte: Besonders schmerzhaft war Arendts Kritik an der Kooperation einiger jüdischer Führer während des Holocausts, was viele Überlebende als Vorwurf der Mitschuld empfanden.Zusammenfassend ist die Banalität des Bösen für Arendt eine Diagnose menschlichen Versagens.

What if the anxiety you most want to get rid of is the one you most need to listen to? Existential psychologist Dan Koch and marketing strategist Kristen Tideman join Evan Rosa for a conversation about what anxiety is actually for—and what happens when it turns against you. "To be human is to be unfinished. It is to have constantly limits around you, and your choice is to accept them or pretend they're not there." In this episode, they reflect together on the existential roots of anxiety and what it looks like to confront real limits—from an MS diagnosis to faith upheaval to collective crisis. Together they discuss healthy versus unhealthy anxiety and how to tell them apart, the post-WWII origins of existential therapy, boundary situations and “thrownness,” what denial costs us spiritually and psychologically, and how accepting our limits can paradoxically expand our world. The conversation moves between lived experience of multiple sclerosis and philosophical framework about mortality, between Kierkegaard's "dizziness of freedom" and a three-month-old baby in an emergency room—asking not how to eliminate anxiety, but how to let the right kind of anxiety make your world bigger. Episode Highlights "To be human is to be unfinished. It is to have constantly limits around you, and your choice, among other things, is to accept them or pretend they're not there."—Dan Koch "I was literally in the ER. I'm holding my three-month-old baby who just got here. I'm like, my life just started—and I don't even know what this means. I don't even wanna Google what it means."—Kristen Tideman "Our brains are big enough and our minds are strong enough that unlike deer, plants, and coconuts, we can think about the future. We can imagine our own death."—Dan Koch "There's ways I wanna deny the MS. I wanna deny that that's part of my existence now. I wanna deny even components of my own faith change."—Kristen Tideman "Is my world getting smaller, or is my world getting bigger?"—Dan Koch About Dan Koch Dan Koch is an existential psychologist, therapist, and host of Religion on the Mind, a podcast and media project exploring the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and everyday life. His clinical work focuses on religious change—deconversion, deconstruction, reconstruction—and the downstream effects on identity, family, and meaning-making. He draws on the existential tradition from Kierkegaard and Jaspers through Viktor Frankl and Irvin Yalom. Koch has spoken openly about his own fifteen-year experience with panic disorder.

Dans son ouvrage Risquer la prudence, une pratique de la sagesse antique, Catherine Van Offelen définit avec clarté la dérive de la prudence à laquelle nous assistons aujourd'hui : « Les Grecs utilisaient le terme de phronêsis pour désigner la prudence audacieuse. Pour nous, un oxymore. Pour les Anciens, un pléonasme. Le prudent Grec est un héros. Le prudent 2.0, un confiné. On a remplacé l'appel à tout oser par l'invitation à rester chez soi ».Article de la revue Acropolis d'avril 2026, par Thierry Adda, philosophe, Président de Nouvelle Acropole France.

Vor einigen Tagen verstarb Jürgen Habermas. Er verstarb im hohen Alter von 96 Jahren und gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er war ein kritischer Beobachter der Gesellschaft, der das politische Denken und die geistige Grundlage der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wesentlich beeinflusst hat. Entsprechend groß ist die öffentliche Anteilnahme über seinen Tod und im öffentlichen Bedauern schwingt die Ahnung mit, dass uns mit Jürgen Habermas eine Art Philosoph verlassen hat, die es so eigentlich nicht mehr gibt. Wenn man an die großen Philosophen des 20. Jahrhunderts zurückdenkt, dann denkt man an Leute wie Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Theodor W. Adorno, Karl Jaspers, Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir oder Hannah Arendt …, um nur einige zu nennen. Wie Habermas verkörperten sie alle eine sehr breite und tiefe philosophische Bildung, die ihren Äußerungen eine Art von Größe, vielleicht sogar Monumentalität gab, die man bei den aktuellen Philosophinnen und Philosophen oft vergeblich sucht und folglich wenig findet. Jürgen Habermas scheint mit seinen 96 Jahren der letzte einer nun ausgestorbenen Art zu sein. Doch … warum gibt es heute keine Philosophen mehr wie Habermas? Dies ist der Titel eines Blog-Beitrages, von Michael Rasche, der mich nachdenklich stimmte. Daher lud ich Michael Rasche zu einem spontanen Podcast-Gespräch ein, um mit ihm über seine Gedanken zu dieser Frage in den Austausch zu gehen. Michael Rasche ist promovierter kath. Theologe & Philosoph und schrieb seine Habilitation zum Thema „Rhetorik und Philosophie“. Er ist als philosophischer Unternehmens- und Organisationsberater tätig, wirkt auch als Autor und Privatdozent. Wir sprachen über Lesen, Schrift, KI, das Internet, Vernunft, Wahrheit und Politik. Und zur Politik gingen wir etwas mehr in die Tiefe … So kamen wir zur Politik als Spiel, als Lügerei und als verlogene Show. Schließlich sprachen wir über Habermas` Enttäuschung und Ratlosigkeit zum Ende seines Lebens und, ob Immanuel Kant heute noch eine Chance im Wissenschaftsbereich hätte … Lassen Sie sich vom Podcast-Gespräch neugierig denkend stimmen … Herzlichst Claudia Lutschewitz

Abschiede gehören zum Leben und doch sind wir selten wirklich auf sie vorbereitet. In dieser Pudelkern-Folge sprechen Albert und Jan mit dem Journalisten und Autor Klaus Brinkbäumer über das Loslassen: vom Abschied aus identitätsstiftenden beruflichen Positionen – in seinem Fall als Spiegel-Chefredakteur, vom Ende von Zugehörigkeit und vom Tod der eigenen Eltern. Ausgangspunkt ist Brinkbäumers Buch „Zeit der Abschiede“, in dem er sieben Jahre beschreibt, die sein Leben grundlegend verändert haben. Schmerzhaft, klärend und in manchen Fällen befreiend zugleich. Im Gespräch geht es um Trauer jenseits von Zeitplänen, um Identität nach dem Bruch und um die Frage, was wir aus Verlusten lernen können. Die Philosophie liefert dabei Orientierung: von der Vergänglichkeit bei Seneca und Epiktet bis zur Idee der Grenzerfahrung bei Karl Jaspers. Eine Folge über Trauer als Teil des Lebens und darüber, wie Abschiede schmerzen und trotzdem neue Freiräume öffnen können.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this episode, Jerry and Abigail return for their fourth conversation in the series Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue, exploring the most profound theme of God: An Autobiography as Told to a Philosopher: the New Axial Age.The term “Axial Age,” introduced by philosopher Karl Jaspers, describes the pivotal era when some of the world's greatest spiritual figures appeared within a few centuries of one another: Socrates, the Hebrew prophets, the Buddha, Confucius, and the sages of the Upanishads. Humanity shifted on its spiritual axis, developing new ways of thinking, deeper moral insights, and new pathways to the divine. Now, Jerry shares that God revealed to him we stand on the threshold of another great transformation, a new spiritual era filled with both peril and promise.Together, Jerry and Abigail ask what this might mean for religions and traditions born in the first Axial Age. Are they fading, losing their power to hold communities together, as God suggests, while a new spirituality rises in diverse, often fragmented ways? Abigail speaks of her profound yet complex relationship with Judaism, her spiritual experiences in India, her affection for Gandhi, and her surprising love of country gospel. Jerry recalls his own journey from Southern Baptist and Pentecostal childhood through philosophy into a direct encounter with God.Their conversation moves between history, theology, and personal testimony, showing how ancient wisdom and modern lives intertwine. They consider the Jewish vocation of chronology and covenant, the Hindu pursuit of Atman and Brahman, and the universal human calling to partner with God in history. Through all of this, one theme emerges as both anchor and challenge: to be truthful—to reality, to God, and to oneself.Are we living through a moment of spiritual collapse or the birth of something radically new? Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your story: questions@godandautobiography.comShare Your Story | Site | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube

The Anthem Companion to Karl Jaspers (Anthem Press, 2025) edited by Hans Joas and Matthias Bormuth is a collection of articles by an international group of leading experts has its special focus on the relevance of Karl Jaspers's philosophy for the social sciences. It also includes classical evaluations of Jaspers's thinking by renowned authors Talcott Parsons and Jürgen Habermas. Several chapters are devoted to the relationship between Jaspers and his teacher (Max Weber), his famous student (Hannah Arendt) and crucial figures in his intellectual world (Wilhelm Dilthey, Georg Simmel). Others deal with his relevance for disciplines from psychiatry to the study of religion and the historico-sociological research about the Axial Age, a term coined by Jaspers. In his introduction, editor Hans Joas tries to systematise Jaspers's relevance for the contemporary social sciences and to explain why Parsons had called him a ‘social scientist's philosopher'. The contributions to this volume deal, on one hand, with thematic areas for which Jaspers's work has been crucial: the Axial Age debate, a non-theological and non-reductive theory of religion; the understanding of psychoanalysis and psychiatry; and the possibilities of a diagnosis of one's own age. On the other hand, they put Jaspers in contrast with Max Weber, Wilhelm Dilthey, Georg Simmel and Hannah Arendt. The volume also contains important chapters by Talcott Parsons, who called Jaspers ‘a social scientist's philosopher', and by Jürgen Habermas, who contrasts his own views on the role of communicative ethics in an age of religious pluralism with those of Jaspers. The book promises to become an indispensable source in the re-evaluation of Jaspers's thinking in the years to come.Hans Joas is the Ernst Troeltsch Professor for the Sociology of Religion at the Humboldt University of Berlin. Matthias Bormuth is Professor for Comparative Intellectual History at the University of Oldenburg and is also the Director of the Karl Jaspers Haus.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

Hubo un tiempo en que el mundo cambió de alma. En apenas unos siglos —entre Confucio y Buda, entre los profetas de Israel y los filósofos griegos— la humanidad empezó a preguntarse por el otro, por el sufrimiento, por el bien y el mal. Es lo que Karl Jaspers llamó la era axial: un despertar simultáneo en civilizaciones distantes, el nacimiento de la conciencia moral tal como hoy la entendemos. Pero este brote de compasión floreció en medio de Imperios crueles, jerarquías absolutas y sacrificios humanos. Y ahí está el misterio: ¿cómo pudo surgir la piedad en medio del poder sin límite? ¿Cómo convivieron la voz de la conciencia con el rugido de los ejércitos? ¿Puede el ideal de justicia nacer en las entrañas del castigo? Para pensar todo esto nos acompaña Alejandro Rodríguez de la Peña —historiador, medievalista, y divulgador riguroso bajo el alias de Torremarte— con quien viajamos de Babilonia a Jerusalén, de India a Grecia, explorando cómo se tejió el alma del mundo entre la violencia ritual y la promesa de redención. Una charla sobre dioses sedientos de sangre, ternura y verdad. Porque entender el presente exige mirar al origen. Y el origen, a veces, es también una herida. Bienvenidos a la Terra Ignota.

Für die vierte Folge der zweiten Fempire-Staffel hat Rasha die Theater- und Prosaautorin Luna Ali als Gästin eingeladen. Lunas großartiger Debütroman „Da waren Tage“ erschien letztes Jahr, in dessen Kapiteln wir den Protagonisten Aras jedes Jahr am Jahrestag der Syrischen Revolution von 2011 an einem anderen Punkt seines Lebens antreffen. Dabei erleben wir nicht nur, wie die Ereignisse in Syrien sich auf Aras‘ Wahrnehmung von Realität und Fiktion auswirken, sondern wie Sprache beim Erzählen zwischen Deutschland und Syrien an ihre Grenzen gerät und immer wieder nach neuen Formen sucht. Auf Lunas Wunsch hin, wagen sich die beiden mit Hannah Arendt an eine der bedeutendsten Denkerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts heran. 1906 in Linden bei Hannover geboren und in Königsberg aufgewachsen, studierte sie Philosophie, Theologie und Klassische Philologie und promovierte bei Karl Jaspers. Von der Gestapo verfolgt, flüchtete Arendt 1933 nach Paris und wegen des Vorrückens der Nazis 1941 ein zweites Mal in die USA, wo sie nach achtzehn Jahren Staatenlosigkeit 1951 die Staatsbürgerschaft erhielt. In New York, wo sie bis zu ihrem Tod 1975 lebte, lehrte sie an verschiedenen Universitäten, vor allem aber schrieb sie an einem so bedeutenden wie umfangreichen Werk politischer und philosophischer Texte. Um die Annäherung an die Werke der politischen Denkerin und Philosophin zu erleichtern, konzentrieren sich die beiden auf Arendts 1951 erstmals unter dem Titel „The Origins of Totalitarianism“ und 1955 auf Deutsch veröffentlichtes Opus magnum „Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft: Antisemitismus, Imperialismus, Totalitarismus“ sowie auf ihren deutlich schlankeren Essay von 1943 „We Refugees“ („Wir Flüchtlinge“). Rasha und Luna sprechen über die schreckliche Aktualität von Arendts Werken, über Aktivismus und die Frage nach politischem Handeln, die sowohl Luna wie Arendt in ihren Texten beschäftigt. Außerdem erzählt Luna in einem kleinen Exkurs von ihrer Reise nach Syrien Anfang dieses Jahres. Bei alldem fragen sich Rasha und Luna immer wieder: was hätte wohl Hannah Arendt dazu zu sagen?

Nghe trọn nội dung sách nói Những Triết Gia Vĩ Đại trên ứng dụng Voiz FM: https://voiz.vn/play/4688/ Những Triết Gia Vĩ Đại được dịch từ phiên bản tiếng Pháp trong phần đầu Tập I thuộc bộ sách nhiều tập "Les grands philosophes" của giáo sư - nhà triết học Đức Karl Jaspers (1883 - 1969). Nội dung đề cập bốn nhân vật cổ đại đáng gọi tiêu biểu nhất trong lịch sử tư tưởng của nhân loại, với Socrate, Thích Ca, Khổng Tử và Jésus, mà tầm ảnh hưởng vẫn vang vọng mãi cho đến hôm nay, và có lẽ sẽ tiếp tục lâu dài đến tận mai sau nữa. Theo Jaspers, bốn nhân vật tỏ rõ giá trị tột cùng của con người này đã có tác động cả về bề rộng lẫn chiều sâu, mà “về tầm ảnh hưởng trong không gian và thời gian là quá lớn đến nỗi nó thuộc về ý thức phổ quát của lịch sử".

Dave Brisbin 1.19.25 From someone going through a perfect storm of difficulties: I see no evidence of God, but plenty of evidence of the devil. Despite years as a devout Christian, she's hit the point we all do, over and over in life, the point Karl Jaspers called a limit situation. The moment we realize we're gonna need a bigger boat. Hitting the limit of our ability to cope, make sense, make meaning—everything that ordered our universe lying in a heap. Why does God seem silent when evil is so loud? We can walk into a dilapidated house and say we see no evidence of an architect, but the fact of the house, the space in which we could care for and maintain a home, is the architect's fingerprint. If the consequences of human action or natural processes like extreme weather or viruses frustrate our agendas, security, and certainty, we label them evil. They overwhelm us, obscuring the order beneath. God is everywhere and everything, the foundation and bones of the house, the floor on which we act. But no matter how badly we neglect the floor, it still exists, if we're still acting. We can say the news is always bad, but that's good. Though loud, bad news is still the aberration against the backdrop of good. Someone asked me how we know when God is speaking—looking for words, specificity, certainty. But God's native language is silence, a non-specific, non-rational background radiation, the fabric of life vibrating in every person and landscape. God's silence never overwhelms the noise we create, but when we allow ourselves to sink beneath the noise, we can reaffirm a wordless message that is always the same, like an audio loop we can enter at any moment: I am here. All I have is yours. All is well and will be well. Such a non-specific message is not what we want, but all that we need. The suffering always present in a limit situation is the only experience powerful enough to pull back the curtain of our certainties du jour and show us the next larger reality we may be ready to engage…a spiritual awakening. But as long as we equate our suffering with evil, let it blot out the possibility of good, it can't show us anything.

"Ni mistično to, kako svet je, temveč, da je," je v svojem Logično filozofskem traktatu zapisal Ludwig Wittgenstein in s tem le na drugačen način izrazil prastaro filozofsko čudenje nad samim dejstvom obstoja. Obstoj kot tak je nedoumljiv. Toda koliko bolj je nedoumljiva njegova »kakšnost« – vsa kompleksnost in raznovrstnost, vsa dinamika in lepota! Z vsakim novim znastvenim odkritjem, se nam univerzum vse bolj zakriva v svojo skrivnostnost. Njegova razsežnost je naravnost osupljiva. Toda, kar je morda še najbolj osupljivo, je njegova urejenost (natančneje: človekova zavest, ki jo zaznava). Nad redom in urejenostjo univerzuma so se čudile in navdihovale že prastare civilizacije in kulture. Religije jo še posebej poudarjajo. V Koranu mnogi verzi nagovarjajo človeka, da naj motri stvarstvo in njegove naravne pojave. V naravnem ritmu menjavanja dneva in noči se razodeva Božja previdnost. V Koranu (13:3) beremo: »On je tisti, ki je razprostrl zemljo in na njej naredil nepremične gore, pa reke, in vse sadove na njej je ustvaril v parih, po dva. On zakriva dan z nočjo! Zares, v tem so znaki za ljudi, ki razmišljajo!« Svet po Koranu ni le stanje stvari, temveč manifestacija transcendentne Resničnosti. Stvarstvo tvorijo »ayat« – »znaki« in »znamenja«, ki človeka opominjajo, da svet ni nastal po naključju, temveč kot prostor samospoznanja človeka in spoznanja Tistega, ki ga je ustvaril. Kajti »eksistenca je dar Transcendence«, kot pravi Karl Jaspers. Za misleca in mistika Al-Ghazalija tostranstvo predstavlja »simbol« onstranstva. Kozmos je naravno razodetje, ki izpričuje Božjo milost, mogočnost in modrost. »Boga slavi vse, kar je v nebesih in na zemlji, On je mogočen in moder«, pravi Koran (57:1). Kontemplacija nad stvarstvom je zato ključna za človekovo spoznanje samega sebe in svojega položaja v kozmosu. Kontemplacija nad stvarstvom vodi navsezadnje do kontemplacije nad Stvarnikom, kot Pratemeljem vsega bivajočega. Islamsko izročilo pravi: »Bog je bil skriti zaklad; razodel se je, da bi se dal spoznati«. Za mistika Al-Ansarija, je kontemplacija o stvarstvu kraljeva pot k modrosti. Kontemplacija ni zgolj refleksija, temveč meditacija in duhovna naravnanost, katere cilj in smoter sta spoznanje transcendentne enosti biti. Kontemplacija je kultivacija uvida v medsebojno povezanost in prepletenost mikro in makrokozmosa ter priznavanje njunega skupnega Vira. V kontemplaciji se duh dvigne od mnogoterosti ustvarjenega k enosti Stvarnika. Kontemplacija, ki se začne v tišini in se vanjo vrača, je torej »iniciacijska pot«, ki človeka preko motrenja univerzuma pripelje v globino lastne duše, katere breztalnost je Božji Logos, kajti »On uvaja noč v dan in dan v noč, On ve, kaj nosite na dnu vaših src« (57:6). V tem smislu je prerok Mohamed dejal: »Ena ura kontemplacije, je vrednejša kot sedem let bogoslužja.«

En este episodio, conversamos con Olga Amarís Duarte, autora de Hannah Arendt. Cartas del recuerdo para los amigos, sobre la fascinante correspondencia de Arendt con figuras clave de su vida y pensamiento, como Karl Jaspers, Martin Heidegger, y Walter Benjamin. A través de estas cartas, exploramos las profundas conexiones que Arendt mantuvo con estos pensadores, sus reflexiones sobre el mal y la responsabilidad moral, su lucha por la independencia del pensamiento y su relación con la identidad judía. Una charla que revela la riqueza de estos intercambios y la influencia que tuvieron en su obra y su visión de la condición humana.

Parte 12. Hoy le expongo la idea de la Edad Axial, un concepto del filósofo alemán Karl Jaspers que, si bien tiene los defectos de su época, nos va a ser útil como concepto. El fin de la Edad de Bronce representó un auténtico fin del mundo, tras lo cual surgirían nuevas interpretaciones del mundo sobre las cuales estamos nosotros hoy en día. Acompáñeme en este recorrido.

The philosopher Karl Jaspers argues that we only truly self-realize when we learn to confront the inevitable hardships of life properly! Find out more! 

Hannah Arendt ist eine der bedeutendsten politischen Theoretikerinnen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Geboren am 14. Oktober 1906 in Linden, einem Stadtteil von Hannover, erlebte sie von klein auf die politischen und sozialen Umbrüche ihrer Zeit. Ihr Studium der Philosophie begann sie in Marburg bei Martin Heidegger, dessen Denken sie stark beeinflusste. Sie promovierte 1928 bei Karl Jaspers in Heidelberg mit einer Dissertation über den Liebesbegriff bei Augustin. Mit der Machtübernahme der Nationalsozialisten engagierte sich Arendt zunehmend gegen deren Ideologie und musste 1933 als Jüdin aus Deutschland fliehen. Nach ihrer Flucht nach Paris und später in die Vereinigten Staaten setzte sie ihre Arbeit fort und veröffentlichte 1951 ihr berühmtetes Werk „Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft“. Besonders bekannt wurde sie durch ihren Bericht „Eichmann in Jerusalem“, in dem sie das Konzept der „Banalität des Bösen“ einführte. Ihr Leben, geprägt von Verlust und Neuanfang, war geprägt von bedeutenden Freundschaften und ihrer Ehe mit Heinrich Blücher. Ihr intellektuelles Erbe inspiriert bis heute."Historische Heldinnen" lässt mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz wichtige Frauen der Weltgeschichte auf ihr eigenes Leben zurückblicken. Selbstbewusst erzählen sie uns von ihrem Mut und ihrer Durchsetzungskraft.Viertausendhertz 2024 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“Existentialism is a form of philosophical inquiry that explores the issue of human existence.[1][2] Existentialist philosophers explore questions related to the meaning, purpose, and value of human existence. Common concepts in existentialist thought include existential crisis, dread, and anxiety in the face of an absurd world and free will, as well as authenticity, courage, and virtue.[3] Existentialism is associated with several 19th- and 20th-century European philosophers who shared an emphasis on the human subject, despite often profound differences in thought.[4][2][5] Among the earliest figures associated with existentialism are philosophers Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche and novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky, all of whom critiqued rationalism and concerned themselves with the problem of meaning. In the 20th century, prominent existentialist thinkers included Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Martin Heidegger, Simone de Beauvoir, Karl Jaspers, Gabriel Marcel, and Paul Tillich. Many existentialists considered traditional systematic or academic philosophies, in style and content, to be too abstract and removed from concrete human experience.[6][7] A primary virtue in existentialist thought is authenticity.[8] Existentialism would influence many disciplines outside of philosophy, including theology, drama, art, literature, and psychology.[9] Existentialist philosophy encompasses a range of perspectives, but it shares certain underlying concepts. Among these, a central tenet of existentialism is that personal freedom, individual responsibility, and deliberate choice are essential to the pursuit of self-discovery and the determination of life's meaning.[10]” -Wikipedia. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support

Back in 2017, I produced a nine-part series on the history of Chinese philosophy. These were once episodes CHP-184 to 192. In 2021, I removed this series from the CHP lineup of shows and published it as an online course. Since last year the History of Chinese Philosophy series has only been available on my Patreon and CHP Premium. What you're listening to here is an updated and new recording from what first came out seven years ago. In the first of 18 episodes that will be covered in this series, we look at Chinese Philosophy's Ancient Beginnings and early Western understanding of Chinese Philosophy. The lives of the ancient Chinese sage kings will also be explored and why some philosophers held them up as role models for society. We will also look at Karl Jaspers's Theory of the Axial Age. For these first ten episodes, the focus will be on pre-Confucian and Confucian philosophers, Legalism, and how Confucianism developed up to the Tang Dynasty. Transcripts to all eighteen episodes are available on Amazon, Barnes Noble, and at Earnshaw Books. Below are links if you're interested.

Dave and Mikey interview Slavoj Žižek for the Theory Underground book TOUR launch in Boise, Idaho. They asked him questions about drive vs. desire and the ethics of psychoanalysis in relation to addiction and serial killers; Nick Land, Baudrillard, and Compact Mag / Nina Power. We get into the politics of universality, our critique of working class identity politics, and underground theory itself!After the interview the Theory Underground 2023 Tour Crew talks about the two publications, which you can order from Amazon, or for a reduced price, at theory-underground.com/store The video closes with presentations from two of the Underground Theory contributors presenting on their chapters: Elton L.K. on The Vampire Castle is PMC (Mark Fisher meets Barbara Ehrenreich), and Bryan Weeks on his more poetic work that deals with the Idea of the University, the state's need for legibility (James Scott), and in-operability (Giorgio Agamben).Purchase Underground Theory and TIMENERGY: Why You Have No Time or Energy on Amazon, or if you're local to the U.S. you can order it at a discount from https://theory-underground.com/store/More about the presenters:Bryan Weeks earned a B.A. in English & Creative Writing from the University of Washington in 2013 and M.A. in Education from Boise State University in 2022 where his research focused on the intersection of critical discourses in the Philosophy of education, particularly deschooling and democratization in public education. He teaches English at an alternative high school and leads reading and writing groups in philosophy, literature, and poetry for adults in Boise, ID where he lives with his wife and son. In 2023 he co-taught a course at Theory Underground based on Karl Jaspers' work The Idea of the University. Elton LK was introduced to Kierkegaard and Nietzsche by a friend at age 21 after graduating from a trade school. Eight years later he graduated from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon with a philosophy degree. In 2012 Elton formed the Dead Parrot Philosophical Society, a book club outside of the academy that discusses everything from Plato to Žižek. The Dead Parrots meet monthly to this day. Since high school Elton has been politically engaged, but Occupy was a major turning point. He did not join his first political organization until 2018: the Democratic Socialists of America. In January 2020 he started an in-person Socialist Night School as a part of his local DSA chapter. In 2023 he co-taught a course at Theory Underground called Professional Managerial Class Consciousness and Ideology.Michael Downs is an independent researcher and author of the philosophy and critical theory blog The Dangerous Maybe. He has earned a graduate certificate from The New Centre for Research and Practice and was the recipient of the Outstanding Graduate Essay at the 2018 International Žižek Conference in Athens, Georgia. Michael is currently studying with Todd McGowan with a special focus on the work of Slavoj Žižek. In 2023 Michael taught a course at Theory Underground on Žižek's For They Know Not What They Do, and in October he teaches an introductory course to the philosophy of Nick Land.If Theory Underground has helped you see that text to speech technologies are a useful way of supplementing one's reading while living a busy life, if you want to be able to listen to PDFs for yourself, then Speechify is recommended.Use the below link and Theory Underground gets credit! https://share.speechify.com/mzwBHEBFollow Theory Underground on Duolingo: https://invite.duolingo.com/BDHTZTB5C...See Theory Underground memes here: https://www.instagram.com/theory_unde... https://tiktok.com/@theory_undergroundMissed a course at Theory Underground?

In this episode, I examine Karl Jaspers presentation of the masses, and the global apparatus and technique that sustains them, as presented in Man in the Modern Age.

Vale dunque la pena rileggerne i molti aspetti con gli occhi rivolti a questa città enigmatica e struggente, che pare ospitare, in alcuni drammatici momenti, le tensioni del mondo intero, da lei chiamato a misurarsi e a confrontarsi con le sfide del nostro tragico presente. È quanto si intende formulare nei contributi di questo volume che gettano su Gerusalemme uno sguardo aperto e disincantato, ma non per questo meno carico di suggestioni filosofiche e di prospettive utopiche.Saggi di: Chiara Adorisio, Saverio Campanini, Giovanna Costanzo, Fiorella Gabizon, Alessandro Gebbia, Massimo Giuliani, Irene Kajon, Giovanni Licata, Marcello Mollica, Paola Ricci Sindoni.Paola Ricci Sindoni è stata professore ordinario di filosofia morale nel Dipartimento di Scienze cognitive dell'Università di Messina.

In this discussion, David, Ann and I discuss the importance of thinking The Idea of the University in the contemporary neoliberal and digitised political-economic landscape. The Idea of the University is a book by existentialist philosopher Karl Jaspers, and written to serve an educational reconstruction project in post-World War II Germany. Now we discuss this book in our historical context, but with the aim the same: to think the Idea of the University as such.

„Wo er spricht, wird es hell“, hat Hannah Arendt einmal über ihren Lehrer gesagt, er sei der einzige Nachfolger, den Kant je hatte. Karl Jaspers war zu Lebzeiten einer der prominentesten deutschen Denker. Doch der moderne Philosophiebetrieb hat sein Werk ad acta gelegt und als wirkungsarm archiviert. Martin Durm diskutiert mit Prof. Dr. Matthias Bormuth - Vorsitzender der Karl Jaspers-Gesellschaft e.V., Oldenburg, Dr. Wolfram Eilenberger - Publizist und Philosoph, Prof. Dr. Annemarie Pieper - em. Universität Basel

Joining us on this episode is Anne-Marie Gagné-Julien, a postdoctoral fellow at the Biomedical Ethics Unit at McGill University, also affiliated with École Normale supérieure (Paris). She holds a PhD in philosophy of science and psychiatry at the Université du Québec à Montréal. Dr. Gagné-Julien was recently named the 2021 winner of the Karl Jaspers award, given by the Association for the Advancement of Philosophy and Psychiatry. Her winning paper is titled "Dysfunction and the Definition of Mental Disorder in the DSM.”

Kann es in einer Gesellschaft wie der unseren noch Freiheit und Individualität geben? Droht in Zeiten der Übertechnisierung der Verlust von Gemeinschaft und schlussendlich gar die Selbstvernichtung der Menschheit? Diesen Grundfragen menschlichen Seins widmet sich Karl Jaspers in der vorliegenden Lesung. Freiheit, so Jaspers, lässt sich nur im Miteinander verwirklichen. Die Aufgabe der Philosophie ist es, die Freiheit zu denken.   Karl Jaspers war ein zentraler Vertreter der Existenzphilosophie, die das philosophische Denken in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts prägte und deren Grundanliegen es ist, dem Menschen das volle Bewusstsein seiner Freiheit zu vermitteln.   Sprecher: Robert Meier

In the disordered confusion of the modern age this voice is often lost to us, but those who are still and who strain to listen, will hear it as it echoes to us through Time, for the voice of Tradition is never silent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBI97Z0iud4   Additional audio material we discussed Uberboyo YouTube channel with a series of lectures on Aion https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvohnwo84dIluwLTzNB9xncnfg5SiadB0   The Almanac of Ireland Podcast https://www.rte.ie/radio/podcasts/series/32164-the-almanac-of-ireland/   Folklore Fragments podcast on fairy forts: In fields, valleys, and quiet places the country over can be found countless earthwork mounds, cairns, tumuli, and other signs of early human habitation in Ireland. These sites often garnered supernatural associations in the folk tradition, is commonly understood as the abodes of 'Na Daoine Maithe' (The Good People) or fairies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2OjysP7ids   A Week in Darkness: The Purest Medicine, Aubrey Marcus Podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewq7r1s535c   People we discussed René Descartes 31 March 1596 – 11 February 1650 was a French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist who invented analytic geometry, linking the previously separate fields of geometry and algebra https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Descartes   Heraclitus: A Greek philosopher who was active around 500 BCE, Heraclitus propounded a distinctive theory which he expressed in oracular language. He is best known for his doctrines that things are constantly changing (universal flux), that opposites coincide (unity of opposites), and that fire is the basic material of the world. The exact interpretation of these doctrines is controversial, as is the inference often drawn from this theory that in the world as Heraclitus conceives it contradictory propositions must be true. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/heraclitus/   Robert Gordon Wasson (September 22, 1898 – December 23, 1986) was an American author, ethnomycologist, and Vice President for Public Relations at J.P.

Newgrange was constructed about 5,200 years ago (3,200 B.C.) which makes it older than Stonehenge and the Great Pyramids of Giza. https://www.newgrange.com/   Axial Age (also Axis Age) is a term coined by German philosopher Karl Jaspers in the sense of a “pivotal age”, characterizing the period of ancient history from about the 8th to the 3rd century BCE. https://slife.org/axial-age/   Irish Sweathouses are small, rare, beehive-shaped, corbelled structures of fieldstones, rarely more than 2 metres in external height and diameter, with very small "creep" entrances which may have been blocked by clothing, or by temporary doors of peat-turves, or whatever came to hand. Most of those which survive could not have accommodated more than three or four sweaters. They resemble the small 'caves', built into banks, in which many Irish natives were reported to live in the seventeenth century http://irishmegaliths.org.uk/sweathouses.htm   Contact Jonny and follow his work The Folklore of Ireland Society https://www.ucd.ie/irishfolklore/en/folkloresociety/ and at https://www.duchas.ie/en nationalfolklorecollection on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/nationalfolklorecollection/   Bluiríní Béaloidis is the podcast from The National Folklore Collection, University College Dublin, and is a platform to explore Irish and wider European folk tradition across an array of subject areas and topics. Host Jonny Dillon hopes this tour through the folklore furrow will appeal to those who wish to learn about the richness and depth of their traditional cultural inheritance; that knowledge and understanding of our past might inform our present and guide our future. https://soundcloud.com/folklore_podcast Check us out at www.learningtodie.com.au  for all episodes and links to the YouTube video versions.
