Quote by Karl Jaspers
The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences

The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of mans being, unfolding itself in thought. – Karl Jaspers
