How did Jaspers think people should respond to existential boundaries?

  • Acceptance

  • Aggression

  • Transcendence

  • Isolation

Answer

In Jaspers’ view, transcendence is the appropriate response to existential boundaries, which refer to the limits and constraints inherent to human existence. Such boundaries can engender anxiety, but rather than succumbing to despair, Jaspers posits that individuals should embrace transcendence as a means of surpassing these limitations.
