Karl Jaspers
Karl Jaspers, 1968.
In his 1958 work Die Atombombe und die Zukunft des Menschen (The Future of Mankind, 1961), the German philosopher Karl Jaspers advocated for the establishment of a political world union.
He envisioned this goal not as a state of absolute sovereignty, but rather as a world confederation. Within this framework, he believed that various entities could coexist, communicate, and live in both freedom and peace.1
