| dc.description.abstract | Solitude arises from an individual character of the human being: to be oneself means to be alone. Jaspers
considers, however, that being oneself genuinely is possible only thanks to other and together with him. Jaspers
regards the man, perceived as an individual being, as not being capable of sidding his life of solitude once for
all, but he sees on opportunity to overcome solitude in various ways. Among them, existential communication is the
one that allows for retaining individuality and, thanks to love, for creating the bond with another man. In the
later philosophy of Jaspers, the cogitation on solitude and communication is located more distinctly in the context
of the being which exceeds a man - The Transcendent. Solitude and communication appear there as two extremes of
life process. The final aim of this process, which is unachievable, is to eliminate both extremes through the union
with The Transcendent and their fusion in The One. | en_EN |
