In his GREAT PHILOSOPHERS series, Karl Jaspers pointed out four paradigmatic individuals--Socrates, Buddha, Confucius, & Jesus. This document contains the introduction to Great Philosophers, Vol 1, the section Jesus, and the afterword dealing with why others figures--e.g. Mohammad, Lao-tse, Pythagoras--were not included by him among the paradigmatic individuals.
