ABSTRACT

Jaspers' characterization of the achievement of Kierkegaard and Nietzsche is suggestive in evaluating Lawrence's impact on the modern world.

With them, a new form of reality appears in history. They are, so to speak, representative destinies, sacrifices whose way out of the world leads to experiences for others. They are by the total staking of their whole natures like modern martyrs, which, however, they precisely denied being. Through their character as exceptions, they solved their problem.
