[Jaspers in psychiatry and philosophy]

Jaspers exerts the same attitude in his philosophical as well as his psychiatric works. Thus, a permanent polarization is to realise: on one of two sides that, which is to be postulated--and on the other side that, which can be comprehended by empathy. Though the extension in the first group is sometimes bold-researchers today, express themselves with much more caution, despite the fact that more data are available today especially biological ones--the approach is similar anyway.
