Jaspers interprets education in the true sense as a combination of transmission of tradition and the possibility of developing into a self-existence. He finds real substance in the tradition, substance in this context being understood as the nature of the spiritual world producing the spiritual foundations of man, i. e. the thought mode, the faith mode and the life mode. Accordingly, his educational theory can be expressed in other words thus, man is born within a thought mode, a faith mode and a life mode and becomes man by growing within these modes ; furthermore, he not merely assimilates these modes, but becomes a self-existence by examining them critically and by assimilating them in a selective process. Education is the activity of counsciously planning and realising this situation. The modern age is a time when substance desintigrates and when a skeptic eye is turned toward all modes of thought, faith and life. Hence, naturally, education too must fall into a state of confusion. We must search, therefore, after some way in which education in modern times can be restored. Answering this need Jaspers proposes a way of “taking consciously a fresh look at history to re-discover the basis of human existence.” He explores the possibility of restoring true education in the real transmission of the spiritual substance which existed in the past.
