Additional quotes by Karl Jaspers

Philosophical activity is fully real only at the summits of personal philosophizing, while objectivized philosophical thought is a preparation for, and a recollection of, it.

V klidných dobách se skoro zapomnělo, že se mezi lidmi rozhoduje násilím, nedohodnou-li se, a že veškerý státní řád je krocením tohoto násilí, ale takovým, při němž násilí zůstává – uvnitř jako vynucování práva, navenek jako válka.

Tam, kde s válkou nastupuje situace násilí, přestává právo. My Evropané jsme se snažili udržet ještě i později v platnosti zbytek práva a zákona mezinárodněprávními ustanoveními, která platí i ve válce a která byla posléze uložena do Haagských a Ženevských úmluv. Zdá se, že to bylo marné.
