...trained psychiatrist with deep spiritual convictions and a profound faculty for logic. Yet he considered science, religion, and reason incapable of elucidating man's complexities, holding that man can only grasp his authentic Being through confrontation with the vicissitudes of life. Like Kierkegaard, Jaspers embraced the Judeo-Christian belief that "however minute a quantity the individual may be among the factors that make history, he is a factor." Such inwardly directed views led him in 1947 to write The Question of German Guilt, which outraged many of his countrymen for its theme of collective culpability for World...
