Philosophy--Karl Jaspers

“The philosophy I sought at universities in 1901 disappointed me…My impulse was to save my mind. I wanted science, pure air, and reality…I took up natural science and medicine without weakening my love for a philosophy I did not know, one that would amount to more than a rationalistic discussion of curious problems—the philosophy it takes, rather, to make our every action conscious and meaningful…I never thought of taking up philosophy as a profession” --Karl Jaspers, Philosophy, vol. 1, p. 6.
