The paper tries to grasp and acquire Karl Jaspers＊s philosophical-mental horizons mainly with the terminological and methodological instruments of the musical 每 primarily symphonic 每 thematisation. Namely those typically jaspersian tensions and impulses, which in their connections to the Encompassing and to Existence are apparently far from them 每 turning back (and forth) to the oriental and western meta- physics of Sound and Light. While the ※philosophical problems§ elevated into themes, now start to inter- weave into spectacle (spectaculum) and 每 along this 每 they open up as ciphers. Concomitantly they do not send us 每 western thinkers 每 beyond the World, but contrarily, they attach us to the communicative re- sponsibility towards the world, to ourselves respectively to others.
