The book is on Existentialism which is a philosophy of life. It reflects the modern man’s mind and his situation which includes guilt, suffering, evil, loneliness, fear, problems of communication etc., Are these inevitable dead ends or can they be overcome? What is the significance of Transcendence, Freedom and Love? How today man is is linked with God? Existentialism has had an impact not only on philosophy but on literature, Art, the Drama and the Cinema. The educated gentry is greatly interested and would like to know more about this school of thought. As existentialism is intimately linked with life, it concerns human beings all over the world.

Karl Jaspers is a dynamic representative of this school. He has much to offer to solve not only international problems, but inter-human conflicts. His emphasis is on communication between human beings. His philosophy provides a metaphysical base for communication. A dialogue is a must to solve any human problem. Jaspers believes in a diversity of views and is ded against any claim to absolute possession of truth. His is a very broadminded and catholic approach and respects differences in religion, country and culture. If mankind is to survive the value of human dignity and a philosophy propounding it must be adopted.

The style is lucid and precise. Wherever, philosophical concepts are used they have been thoroughly explained. A background of philosophy is not a must to appreciate this work.
