"Jaspers, a life-long liberal, attempted in this book to discuss rationally a problem that had thus far evoked only heat and fury. Neither an evasive apology nor a thorough condemnation, his book distinguished between types of guilt and degrees of responsibility. He listed four categories of guilt: criminal guilt (the commitment of overt acts), political guilt (the degree of political acquiescence in the Nazi regime), moral guilt (a matter of private judgment among one's friends), and metaphysical guilt (a universally shared responsibility of those who chose to remain alive rather than die in protest against Nazi atrocities)."--BOOK JACKET.

'"Aus den zahllosen Abhandlungen zum Werk Friedrich Nietzsche ragt die Gesamtdarstellung von Karl Jaspers immer noch als einzigartige Leistung heraus. Nietzsche wird als ,großer Philosoph' historisch und systematisch umfassend vorgestellt. Von unverminderter Aktualität ist das souveräne, auf alle verfügbaren medizinischen Daten gestützte Urteil des Psychiaters Jaspers über Nietzsches Krankheit." Prof. Dr. Volker Gerhardt

Einführung in das Verständnis seines Philosophierens

Nietzsche

Nietzsche claimed to be a philosopher of the future, but he was appropriated as a philosopher of Nazism. His work inspired a long study by Martin Heidegger and essays by a host of lesser disciples attached to the Third Reich. In 1935, however, Karl Jaspers set out to "marshall against the National Socialists the world of thought of the man they had proclaimed as their own philosopher." The year after Nietzsche was published, Jaspers was discharged from his professorship at Heidelberg University by order of the Nazi leadership. Unlike the ideologues, Jaspers does not selectively cite Nietzsche's work to reinforce already held opinions. Instead, he presents Nietzsche as a complex, wide-ranging philosopher - extraordinary not only because he foresaw all the monstrosities of the twentieth century but also because he saw through them.
