Abstract Education is a value-oriented activity, with the purpose that people can obtain healthy development. Nowadays there are some educational problems which have been caused by the misleading of some thinking on education. That is why the ideal objectives of education have not been reached yet. For the subjects and the objects of educational activities are both human beings, the problems are obviously derived from men themselves. The present thesis aims to (1) do a literature analysis on existentialism which appeared in Europe in the first decades of the 20th century, (2) search and find out it's implications for the Chinese education on Taiwan. The existentialists are concerned with the problems of individual existence. They emphasize the subjectivity of knowledge, the value of ones's free choice, and the autonomy of the individual. They claim that education must be set to foster a person to be authentic, initiative, autonomous, and responsible by means of humanities-centered curriculum, heuristic method, and a good teacher-student relationship based on real communicalion. Such an educational thought will be very useful for our educational practice today.
