The purpose of this paper is to examine the problem of Spranger's 'view of man'. The clarification of this problem is de facto connected with Spranger's value theory, his ethical and religious ideas. It is noteworthy that Spranger deducts two ethical models from religion. These are the 'expanded ethics' (die erweiternde Ethik) and the 'limiting ethics' (die beschränkende Ethik); both stand in contradiction to each other, hence man experiences an ethical contradiction. But man's character matures by overcoming this ethical contradiction and he becomes the appropriate subject of value judgment and action and thus is able to lead a meaningful life. According to Spranger man realizes that he is protected by God when he listens to the voice of God speaking to him through the conscience. I have characterised this interpretation of the nature of man by Spranger as his religious view of man. This religious view of man forms also one characteristic attribute of Spranger's educational theory.At the background of this religious view of man rests the idea of 'world piety' (Weltfrommigkeit); this implies a salvation from secular worldliness and approaching the Holy, by overcoming the worldly sufferings through living in the world. In my mind, Spranger's religious view of man can make an important contribution to the ethical foundations of contemporary education and to the ethos of the educator.

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the moral (practical) and political side of the goal of postwar Spranger's education of the conscience. One problem which Spranger after living through the Nazi period faced in the formation of democracy was the phenomenon of lack of individual conscience which is supposed to support democracy. According to Spranger the lack of conscience in the single individual leads to a break-down of democracy. What he calls 'education of the conscience' aimed at the formation of men who support democracy at their interior spirit. In this paper this problem shall be discussed from the following viewpoints. First, I shall try to arrive at an understanding of the characteristics of Spranger's view of the conscience, then proceed to explain the social meaning of conscience by examining the connection of conscience and cultural criticism, and then go on to discuss the content of the goal of conscience education from the viewpoint of reconstruction of democracy in postwar Germany.
