More specifically, the article discusses how the question of purpose of education (Biesta in Educ Assess Eval Account 21(1):33-46, 2009; God utbildning i mätningens tidevarv [Good education in the age of measurement]. Liber, Stockholm, 2011) could be conceived from Asplund's (Det sociala livets elementära former. [The elementary forms of social life]. Bokförlaget Korpen, Göteborg, 1992) concept of "social responsivity”. Adopting Asplund's concept, I problematize, discuss, and supplement Biesta's model, especially his concept of "subjectification” and from here tentatively examine "existentialisation”. Existentialisation is proposed as a tool for understanding the overall meaning of education. To illustrate the theoretical argument, a brief classroom episode is analyzed in detail.
