There are two aims in this article.The first is to examine the significance of Karl Jaspers's 'philosophy of communication' in the context of the European intellectual tradition. According to Jaspers, the crisis of the modern existence is due to the disintegration of the dualistic principle which has been the basis of the whole European thought and culture. That is to say, European philosophy has relied upon the balance or harmonious tension between dualistic, complementary values, such as earthly and unearthly, infinite and finite, active and passive, personal and impersonal, and so forth. But the increasing denial of the latter values of these couples and unrestrained affirmation of the formers has resulted in the present crisis. The signficance of Jaspers's philosophy of communicanion, based on the recognition of the 'boundary' or 'extreme situation' (Grenzsituation), lies in the point that it successfully restores the lost harmony between these dualities.The second purpose of the paper is to consider the significance of human education in the boundary situation. The true recognition of this situation will enable us to grasp the real, existentialistic condition of man; that is, the definition of man as a being that, from its own nature, seeks for the 'communication' with the supernatural. Such grasp of human nature alone can make it possible for each existence to establish, instead of a merely objective and superficial relationship, a really subjective, personal and meaningful communication or encounter between themselves.

Our age may be said to be eminently paradoxical. There has been no age when humanistic values are so noisily advocated and at the same time so grievously neglected. No age has seen the ideal of harmonious perfection of individual personality so vigorously upheld and at the same time so calmly ignored. Various causes of this paradoxical situation may be enumerated, but the following three are to be listed as the most significant ones : 1. the emptiness of spiritual life, the loss of some definite and positive system of values of the Japanese people since the end of the war, 2. dehumanizing effects of mechanistic mass-society which is now the reality in modern Japan, and 3. the false conception of humanity inherent in pragmatism on the one hand and Marxism on the other, which exercised predominant influence upon the intellectual climate of the post-war Japan, including the educational circle. Especially noteworthy is the third factor, namely the idea of man proposed by pragmatism and Marxism, which, in spite of their professedly humanitarian assertions, in effect aggravated the dehumanizing tendency, The conclusion propounded after these considerations is that an existentialistic view of man firmly based upon Christian conception of human nature is the idea of humanity most needed in this 'paradoxical' age of ours.
