| Popis: | The purpose of this paper is to analyze the reading that Armstrong draws from the Axis theory in order to provide a semantic approach to emerging from contemporary challenges, and to what extent this reading is based on Jaspers' thought about the Axis Age and the specific human existence (Existenz). The hypothesis of the article is that we can give a deeper reading of Armstrong's account. This Research leads us to a model called "empathic spirituality" which comes under two categories of consistency: First, the subjective aspect as self-reflection which emphasizes existential transcendence to "self-fulfillment". Thus, self-fulfillment is a transcendental attempt and an existential jump that is carried out with philosophizing and the existential effort to appear in the realm of existentialism. Second, the objective aspect as the connection that emphasizes the kind of relationship that is being used for "other flourishing". Thus, other flourishing is accompanied by the transcendental-self that efforts to have a relationship with another which is carried out with philosophizing and realization of a benevolent connection. This aspect confirms that "I will not be spiritual except in the light of the quest for spiritualization of "other one". |
