Abstract:
The existence of man is influenced by various inputs from the people around him.
This is because he learns every day as he interacts with other people within his social milieu. This
goes a long way in influencing his behavior and social outlook. Through such, he can confront
whatever situation that may come his way with confidence without qualms or fretting. Thus,
various theories, postulations, assertions and suggestions help to contribute to the development of
the individual and the society. These often emanate from different individuals and are pointers to
existence. Martin Heidegger is one of such individuals whose postulation is found to be of
immense benefits to society and individuals as well. In his postulation on the ecstasies of man,
Heidegger exposed how man can live his life and derive pleasure from natureās benevolence. This
study, therefore, examined his teachings on the ecstasies of man, its educational implications, and
its applicability to the Nigerian educational system. The study was carried out under these
headings: Introduction, explication of key concepts, historical excursion on Martin Heidegger,
applicability of his teaching to the Nigerian educational system and conclusion.
