Extended data
In this book What is Education, Jaspers explained the ideal education from a philosophical point of view. In the author's view, education is a spiritual and physical communication activity between people, including imparting knowledge content, understanding the connotation of life, regulating will behavior, and imparting cultural inheritance to the younger generation through cultural transmission function, so that they can freely generate and enlighten their free nature.
Therefore, the principle of education is to guide the source and foundation of people's soul awakening through all the cultures in the existing world, rather than guiding things derived from original and mediocre knowledge. Real education never allows rote memorization, nor does it expect everyone to become a thoughtful thinker. The process of education is to let the educated practice, learn and grow themselves in practice, which is characterized by free play and continuous trial.
