Karl Jaspers wrote the idea of the university at the end of Hitler's dictatorship and after Germany's defeat in World War II, after the collapse of the worst external and internal disasters on German universities. When we read this book, sometimes we feel surprised. Some of Jaspers' ideas may shock us or seem highly impractical or worse. But sometimes the ideas we oppose in our universities deserve to be heard and considered. We should consider this book as the voice of a human being who, after years of oppression and suffering, was able to express his belief in the eternal and unstoppable value of truth, and we should consider a critical look at it as a blow to our situation.
Karl Theodor Jaspers (February 23, 1883 – February 26, 1969) was a German psychiatrist, political philosopher, and existentialist philosopher.
Jaspers considers today's industrial society, which aims to provide a certain level of well-being for the majority of people, as dangerous for the human personality. He mentions God as a supreme existence and assumes the lack of knowledge and the limitation of human power as the reason for the existence of the unknown and unknowable existence.
