• W240408099 abstract "PRECIS The author examines Karl Jaspers's decoupling of commitment and narrowness in three parts. First, Jaspers's criticism of the church and some Christian dogmas as eurocentric reveals his postmodern and cosmopolitan stance, In opposition to the neoorthodox theological tendency of his time. Second, his philosophical faith emphasizes the role of an active Individual and the importance of being open to ciphers from other world religion/philosophies. Against many criticisms that Jaspers was too relativistic, the author points out two anti-relativistic measures in Jaspers's post-World War II thought, the much-discussed axial age and, especially, the neglected idea of mutual civilizational grafting. Third, she elaborates on Jaspers's notion of civilizational grafting by comparing the positions of Paul Ricocur and Ernst Troeltsch toward it. Jaspers's loss of narrowness did not lead to loss of commitment. Introduction Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) held peculiar form of modern belief that middle state between traditional Christianity and atheism. His personal religious view exemplifies the ambivalent attitude of modern religious thinker who wants connection to the transcendent, yet identifies with the honesty of atheists. His to Christianity, as Charles Wallraff pointed out, is sufficiently involved to belie the simple trichotomy: for, against, or indifferent. Further, his faith was openly sympathetic with Nietzsche's proclamation of the death of God and Kierkegaard's 'attack upon Christendom. [1] Similarly, Paul Ricoeur located it between positive religions with their credos and confessional structures and the atheistic humanism of Auguste Comte, Karl Marx, or Friedrich Nietzsche. [2] The uniqueness of Jaspers's philosophical faith can best be seen in his unreserved critique of number of eurocentric Christian dogmas and, more importantly, in his articulation of faith within the context of world h istory of philosophy. However much his attempt has been commended, it has also been subject to intense criticism. I will focus on two criticisms that show Jaspers's position in relation to neoorthodox and liberal positions concerning the relationship between Christianity and other world religions. First, Ricoeur objected to Jaspers's accepting the validity of the Christian doctrines as equal to those of other religions and called him a Don Juan of religion. [3] Second, Aleida Assman has attacked Jaspers's history of humankind for being a chimera and found Ernst Troeltsch's Europeanism more realistic than Jaspers's cosmopolitanism. [4] Both Ricoeur and Troeltsch associated commitment and narrowness (though to different degrees), whereas Jaspers rejected the connection. In this essay, I will examine Jaspers's decoupling of commitment and narrowness in three parts. First, Jaspers pilloried the church and some Christian dogmas for being eurocentric. His criticism revealed his postmodern and cosmopolitan standpoint and opposed the neoorthodox theological tendency of his time. Second, his philosophical faith emphasized the role of an active individual, as opposed to God's grace, and articulated cosmopolitan faith that was open to ciphers from other world religions/philosophies. Against many criticisms that Jaspers was too relativistic, I will point out two anti-relativistic measures in his post-World War II thinking. However, rather than the axial age, which has received much attention from scholars, I will focus on the neglected idea of mutual civilizational grafting, which in fact more anti-relativistic. Third, I will elaborate on Jaspers's notion of civilizational grafting by comparing Ricoeur's and Troeltsch's positions toward it. I will show that Jaspers's loss of nar rowness did not lead to loss of commitment. On the contrary, Ricoeur's cultural puritanism and Troeltsch's partial acceptance of civilizational grafting are problematic. While Jaspers's cosmopolitan idea still needs to be elaborated in greater detail and precision, it nevertheless provides viable framework for the coming global age by decoupling commitment and narrowness. …" @default.
