Quote by Karl Jaspers
If philosophy is practice, a demand to know the manner in which it

If philosophy is practice, a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts. – Karl Jaspers

Other quotes by Karl Jaspers
