This study is an attempt to examine the constitution of intersubjectivity in Husserl and clarify its educational implications. The constitution of intersubjectivity is to explain how my transcendental ego can constitute in itself another transcendental ego and, thereafter, how it can also constitute an open plurality of such ego. The ego in Husserl can carry out self-perceptions and self-recollections, and make use of the self-apperception of others through the medium of empathy. Thus the transcendental intersubjectivity is an enlargement of the transcendental subjectivity in that the former stems from the latter. This ego has connection with others by outward appearance of real ego, and constitutes the objective world. This connection makes it possible to come to an understanding of each other and communicate with each other. W could find out the following suggestions in education ; First, We can try to overcome discontinuity between teaching and learning in that Husserl wished to overcome discontinuity between subjective and objective aspects. In the phenomenological point of view, teachers should not simply communicate facts, others` explanation, and others` interpretation to the students, but let the students bestow new meanings to them in the same manners as we create or appreciate works of art. Therefore, in the activities of education, partial facts should be considered not separately, but interconnectedly. Second, education is to let students enjoy real liberation. If students could emerge from their position as strangers, and, participate in true dialogue, they would break from a sense of alienation. From this real liberation, humans become meditating selves who live in their own free will in accordance with a stream of their consciousness. Therefore, students could emerge from the narrow domain of subjective perception through the dialogue and broaden mutual understanding.
