First lecture : origin of the contemporary philosophic situation (the historical meaning of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche) -- Second through fourth lectures : basic ideas for the clarification of reason and Existenz: -- Second lecture: the encompassing -- Third lecture: truth as communicability -- Fourth lecture: priority and limits of rational thinking -- Fifth lecture : possibilities for contemporary philosophizing.
The intent of Jaspers' philosophizing then is simply to recall us to our authentic situation. This recall is not itself a doctrine; it is only the stimulus to an inward action each must perform for himself in communication with others. Jaspers' Existenz-philosophy is thus an attempt to consider and enact human honesty; it is philosophy, not as wisdom, but as the love of wisdom.
