En este libro, Karl Jaspers se hace la pregunta eterna Que es la filosofia?, y la responde desde su posicion singular de hombre de ciencia, de filosofo existencialista, de racionalista equilibrado. Desde esta perspectiva, para el autor la filosofia es la expresion de un eterno inquirir humano, cuya meta es siempre el hombre.

Acertado "breviario" que posee el rigor de un gran maestro de la logística contemporánea y la claridad expositiva de un consumado pedagogo. Sus repetidas ediciones son prueba de la amplia utilización de este texto en el campo de la enseñanza.
