ABSTRACT
At first glance, Karl Jaspers seems out of place on a list of early contributors to contemporary religious naturalism. Current scholarship on Jaspers's work is generally associated with his early psychopathology and his post-war political philosophy, both of which still maintain some relevance in niche academic circles today. If Jaspers's philosophical faith maintains the naturalistic tenets of contemporary religious naturalism while remaining open to the possibility of an epistemological transcendence, he may find a philosophical home among the early religious naturalists. However, Jaspers's concept of philosophical faith might serve the contemporary religious naturalist well as an epistemology or even a practice of religious naturalism in that it honors scientific discovery and offers a language for the confrontation with the mysteries of nature's hiddenness. Corrington's Ecstatic Naturalism breathed life into the study of Karl Jaspers for many of the same reasons he has been overlooked for so long.
