 Jaspers’s declared conviction that the methodological principles remain largely unaffected by the increased materials supported his efforts to add entire sections to the new versions of the book – sections that aptly reveal his philosophical view on the pertinent considerations in curing mental illness. Notwithstanding this, Jaspers opposed the attempts to address existentialist ideas for the sake of understanding mental illness. For him it is not possible that a human being as a whole falls ill or alternatively that illness of any kind can cover one’s entire being, rather there are always parts that remain uninfected with illness or healthy.
