DESCRIPTION:In elaborating on the idea of an axial-age Karl Jaspers has pu
 t the self and the emergence of transcendence nicely together: “What is 
 new about this age\, in all three areas of the world\, is that man becomes
  conscious of Being as a whole\, of himself and his limitations. He experi
 ences the terror of the world and his own powerlessness. He asks radical q
 uestions. Face to face with the void he strives for liberation and redempt
 ion. By consciously recognising his limits he sets himself the highest goa
 ls. He experiences absoluteness in the depths of selfhood and in the lucid
 ity of transcendence. All this took place in reflection. Consciousness bec
 ame once more conscious of itself\, thinking became its own object.” (Or
 igin and Goal of History\, New Haven\, CT: Yale University Press\, 1953\, 
 2) \n\nIt is commonly accepted that both topics\, the so-called inner sel
 f\, which means reflexivity and rational constitution as the base of self-
  and world-understanding\, and the transcendence\, which means the capacit
 y of thinking beyond\, are quite crucial for the emergence of modernity. 
  While the epochal shift became a myth of origin\, it was more or less li
 nked with Plato and Augustin\, and thus detached from the broader horizon 
 Jaspers originally evoked. The conference will ask for the development\, i
 ts sources\, and the link between various approaches in Early China\, Anci
 ent Iran\, Ancient Greece\, and the Hebrew Bible. \n\nWorkshop's programm
