Abstract

The paper is an attempt to give the author’s own interpretation of two key categories of Jaspers’ philosophy, namely the sign and the cipher of transcendence. While showing the differences between them together with relations that join them, I put a special stress on the significance of Jaspers’ term “transcendence” which is often, quite misleadingly, understood simply as a journey to the other world. “Transcendence” is derived from “transcending towards” and means such transcending which turns neither to objects of the empirical world, nor to the hidden character of a human being (their existence), but nevertheless is inseparable from human action.

Keywords:

Jaspers, existential philosophy, existence, the sign of existence, transcendence, the cipher of transcendence, transcending
