Abstract

As the most important or core issue, philosophy precedes all others in Jaspers' theory of the Axial Period. Jaspers has depicted a magnificent spectacular when philosophy comes on the stage. But how does philosophy enter on the stage? Jaspers intriguingly mentions some "elements". However, we still need probe into the conditions, origin and the primary process of philosophy's appearance in order to get a more systemic and comprehensive understanding of the origin of philosophy.
