Outline of Final Research Achievements

The main focus of this research was put on Helmuth Plessner, who has been reassessed in recent years thanks to his broad philosophical perspective. The theme drawn out here is of the fact that human beings are directed toward cultural and technological creation in order to stabilize their natural instability that comes from physical duality. Based on such cultural view, the relationship between the education and the balance of existence has been analyzed both historically and logically by tracing the actual conditions. Social tension and contradiction of individuals have been increased through our education, and the balance of existence has been lost. This revealed the fact that our education needs to be relocated to the other place in order to stabilize the existence.
