[^4] As Jean Wahl has remarked, Jaspers is the true successor of Kierkegaard in the twentieth century, and is the originator of Existenzphilosophie in Germany.

[^5] Husserl and Jaspers had a distant but respectful relationship. Husserl had read Jaspers’ General Psychopathology and owned a copy of the 3-volume Philosophie, although only volume One showed signs of having been perused). Their correspondence is to be found in Husserl, Briefwechsel, volume [^4]:

[^30] See Gerhard Knauss, ‘The Concept of the ‘Encompassing’,’ in Paul A. Schilpp, ed., The Philosophy of Karl Jaspers, p. [^149]: Jaspers links the notion of the encompassing with Kant’s recognition that we never grasp the world but only things in the world. Hence the world is an Idea for Kant, see Jaspers, Philosophy of Existence, p. 20.
