Rare! 1946, Karl Jaspers, Die Schuldfrage, First Edition

The book Die Schuldfrage was first published in 1946 and summarizes the reflections that Jaspers gave in a well-attended lecture in the winter semester of 1945/46 at the University of Heidelberg on the guilt of the German people for the crimes of National Socialism. In view of the intense public discussion that has flared up today about the share of guilt of individual people (Martin Heidegger, Kurt Waldheim, etc.) or ‘the’ Germans or ‘the’ Austrians in the National Socialist terror regime, we find in this work interesting ideas and distinctions that… can be extremely helpful in forming your own judgment on this issue.
