Zusammenfassung
In his later work on philosophical faith, Jaspers argues that acknowledging the limits of knowledge can be releasing. However, in his works on boundary situations, when he discusses the boundaries of life and action, he claims that acknowledging these boundaries can provide existential elucidation, but not peace of mind. In this essay, I explore the concept of epistemic and practical boundaries, demonstrating that these notions are absolute metaphors whose meaning is revealed only through a practical-existential understanding. I interpret Jaspers’ concept of existential elucidation as such an understanding and argue that acknowledging epistemic and practical boundaries can be releasing, but is an everlasting process.
