本文從一般論者對於大學生生命困境的分析為起點，指出生命課題的普遍意義，並由此正視大學長期以來的自我異化及其對學生乃至對整個社會的影響。以這個反省為基礎，本文進一步從人學與受教育者的理想圖像來省思大學教育的本質，並勾勒出大學推動生命教育的五個行動綱領：一、大學應鼓勵生命教育的跨界學術研究；二、大學應推動生命教育的校園文化；三、大學應擔負中小學生命教育的師資培育與資源建構；四、大學應促進以生命教育為核心的教育政策；五、大學的社會責任―生命教育的社會推廣。這五個策略都不是一蹴可幾的，也都充滿困難與挑戰。盼望全國關心大學生命教育未來發展的有識之士能一起努力。

Beginning with a critical analysis of general opinions concerning the life situations of university students, this essay points out then the universal significance of many issues about meaning and reality of human life. Due to a certain kind of self-alienation of the functioning of universities and its negative impacts upon students and the society as a whole, however, those significant issues of human life are totally or at least partly ignored in university campuses. Based upon an ideal picture of an educated person and the reflection with regard to the essence of university education, five strategies of promoting life education in universities are discussed and presented as follows: 1. Interdisciplinary research on issues arising from life education; 2. Promotion of life education in university campuses; 3. Teacher formation and teaching resources development for grades 1 through 12 of school system; 4. Promotion of a national education policy taking life education as its core value; 5. Promotion of life education in different sectors of the society. None of the five strategies is an easy way to go. Every one of them is confronted with all kinds of difficulties and challenges. Hopefully there are more and more intellectuals who are prepared to commit themselves to the realization of life education in Taiwan.
