Philosophy and the Axial Age, May 8 2005
By John C. Landon "nemonemini" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Karl Jaspers On Philosophy Of History And Hist Of Philosophy (Hardcover)
Most works on Jaspers fail to even mention his seminal work on the Axial Age in his _Origin and Goal of History_. This work explores Jaspers' philosophy of history (& history of philosophy) and in the process corrects the neglected side of his oeuvre. Jaspers in many ways, perhaps unconsciously, provides a correction on the Eurocentric philosophy of history in the Hegelian vein, and explores the fuller dimension of world philosophy from Confucius, Lao Tse, to Nagarjuna, and others. This fuller view is latent in the implications of the Axial period's mysterious globalizing integration of transculture.The work on the Axial Age brings together the observations of a whole century of historians and is one of the most important historical discoveries of modern times--yet one passed over in silence in a scientific culture that can't handle the obvious suggestions about the universal history of man.
Interesting book, filling a gap in the record.
Listmania!
