Karl Jaspers / 卡尔·亚斯贝尔斯

Karl Jaspers / 卡尔·亚斯贝尔斯 appears in 103.她是刺穿夜雾的光,她是汉娜·阿伦特 as [[HannahArendt|Hannah Arendt]]’s Heidelberg doctoral adviser and lasting intellectual friend. The episode contrasts him with [[MartinHeidegger|Martin Heidegger]]: Jaspers is presented less as a seductive academic celebrity than as a stable mentor who could support Arendt’s thinking without demanding submission.

The source also places Jaspers under [[NaziGermany|Nazi Germany]]’s pressure because his wife was Jewish and his teaching rights were removed. After the war, he reconnects with Arendt and later encourages her during the [[EichmannInJerusalem|《艾希曼在耶路撒冷》]] backlash, arguing that her attackers hated the book because it touched a lie in their lives.
