Sažetak
The main idea of this paper is to represent Karl Jaspers' idea
of “philosophical faith”. It is one of key concepts in Jaspers' late
thought. “Philosophical faith” is “the third way” between exclusivism
of religion and science. Such a faith cannot be confessed in defined
statements, but it can be declared in propositions – “philosophical
contents of faith” such as “God is”, “There is an unconditional
imperative”, “Man is finite and imperfect”, “Man can live in God's
guidance”, “The world has infintesimal existence between God and
existence”.
“Contents of philosophical faith” are not compulsory or
scientific knowledge; each of them rather has its own source in a
fundamental experience of “Existenz” - they are source of man's
freedom, and, therefore, a true source of “existential” philosophizing.
