解读雅斯贝斯的轴心时代

Analyzing and Understanding Kari Jasper's Concept about Axial Period

轴心时代,是德国哲学家雅斯贝斯在20世纪首先提出的一个概念,其要旨是指出自公元前6世纪起,约120年的时期内,世界出现了五位知识巨人,他们坚信人类的智慧和精神力量能战胜贪心,战胜邪恶,能促进世界的进步,开启全球精神生活的新的里程。

Axial Period, the concept first raised by German philosopher Karl Jaspers in the 20th century essentially suggests that during the period about 120 years from the 6th century BC there appeared 5 intellectual giants in the world who believed that the human wisdom and spiritual power could defeat greed and evil as well as push the progress of the world and initiate a new voyage of people＇s spiritual life over the world.
