Summary/Abstract: A concept of education (Ausbildung) was involved in many modifications (in 18 derived words) in creative thinking history of German philosophy in 14th century. In the last third of 18th century notions of education and training became a buzzword and were used in different senses: the aesthetic and moral, in terms of education and school education, such as citizenship education, but also the importance of perfectness; explaining, improvements, etc. Johann Gottfried Herder returned its spiritual philosophical originality and a purpose to education. His next step was to the Hegel’s idea of self-conscious EGO, which was the beginning of his journey to the energetic, human self-awareness.
