Existentialism, as a philosophical trend of thought with far-reaching influence, has exerted an extensive and profound influence on the field of higher education. Jaspers, as one of the representative figures of existentialism, constructed his educational philosophy theory system: the essence of education is the free generation of human, the generation of human is the inquiry of the absolute truth and the ultimate value, and the continuous transcendence of the original spiritual level. The cultivation of human spirit through the humanities is accomplished in the process of the spiritual communication between teachers and students. The study of the philosophical implications of Jaspers' existentialist education provides a new analytical perspective for the development of education and has certain reference significance for the present university education to return to the spiritual shaping of people and the construction of the realistic path of the all-round development of contemporary college students.
