In the twentieth century,modern Western technology is increasingly developed,but people are getting confused.The background of Jaspers' construction of existential philosophy lies in that with the rapid economic development and the continuous improvement of technology,machines and technologies have gradually become the determinants of people's lives,and people are submerged in the rumble of machines.Technology improving material well-being,but caused a spiritual crisis.Jaspers rethinks the situation of human existence and makes a comprehensive analysis of the human spiritual crisis.Jaspers believes that the reason for the survival crisis is the collapse of the life world.Due to the manipulation of standardization and unification mechanization,the life world of the modern Westerners is beginning to collapse,and people are in a crisis of survival.Jaspers established his own existence philosophy which was regarded as the only way to help the modern westerners get out of the spiritual crisis.Through interpreting Jaspers existence-philosophy,the thesis reveals the meaning of human being and the solution of spiritual crisis.Through the analysis of Jaspers' s survival crisis thought not only helps us understand the living conditions of modern Western society and modern Westerners,but also provides inspiration for us to understand and deal with the relationship between people and things,people and technology.The full text is divided into five parts: The first part introduces Jaspers' Being of Enscompassing,Jaspers regards the real existence as " das Umgreifende ".He thinks the essence of man is the spirit,and the essence of spirit is freedom.The second part discusses Jaspers' s thinking about the survival crisis.Jaspers thought that the modern Westerners were trapped in the crisis of survival and the essence of the survival crisis was attributed to the decline of the spirit.In the third part we discuss Jaspers' s analysis of the root of the survival crisis.Jaspers attributed the root of the survival crisis to the collapse of the life world.In Jaspers' s view,because of the manipulation of standardization,unification and mechanization,the life of modern Westerners has been completely collapsed,which eventually leads to the increasingly serious survival crisis.The fourth part discusses that Jaspers believes the existence philosophy is the way to solve the crisis of existence.This part reveals the meaningof human being and the solution of spiritual crisis.The fifth part introduces the theoretical significance and influence of Jaspers' s thought of survival crisis.It reveals the problems existing in modern western society and causes us to think about the present life.His philosophy of survival had an important influence on Sutter,Camus and other philosophers.
