This paper discusses the nature of Jaspers’ political thought.
First, having clarified the relationship between politics and philosophy in Jaspers’ thought, this paper examines his 1931 work *The Spiritual Situation of Our Time*, his 1946 work *On Guilt*, and his 1958 work *The Atomic Bomb and the Future of Mankind*, elucidating how Jaspers discusses contemporary social criticism, Germany’s war guilt, and the issue of nuclear war, respectively. Building on this, the paper argues that in his later years, Jaspers shifted towards a political philosophy grounded in ‘reason’.
