Abstract

This paper critically assesses Karl Jaspers’ existential viewpoint concerning the fundamental nature of university education. In a contemporary context where the pursuit of credentials prevails, Jaspers challenges traditional paradigms by underscoring the university’s distinctive role beyond the mere acquisition of job-related skills. The abstract delves into Jaspers’ critique of an education system fixated on efficiency, advocating for the cultivation of intellectual life and existential awareness. Through a thorough analysis, the article reexamines the objective of university education, transcending the narrow focus on credentials to embrace a comprehensive vision that aligns with Jaspers’ philosophical principles. Practical insights for applying Jaspers’ philosophy in contemporary educational settings are presented, facilitating a transition towards a more purposeful and contemplative academic experience. The research methodology employed encompasses narrative analysis and philosophical inquiry.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0787/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
