Socrates, Boeddha, Confucius, Jezus by Karl Jaspers

A comparative philosophical study that examines how four seminal spiritual figures, each arising in distinct historical crises, disclosed new ways of understanding truth, ethics and the human relation to the transcendent; through contextual biography and close reading of their teachings it follows their confrontations with suffering, death and freedom and argues these moments constitute decisive spiritual breakthroughs whose insights still shape modern existential and religious thought.
