With reference to the existential philosophy Bollnow found that the Incarnation is not continuous, ie continuous process, but both physically and mentally in a break. He therefore asserts: " Human life has [ ... ] both side by side, steady gradients and discontinuous incisions. "

For this reason, advocates Bollnow for an extension of the thinking in continuous Categories Pedagogy to " discontinuous forms of education." These are for him: the crisis, the awakening, the exhortation, consultancy, risk and failure in education - and finally - the encounter.

Just the classic educational concept of education and introduced by him of the encounter looks Bollnow in a voltage and complementary relationship.

Encounter and education " must be in proper balance when spiritual growth is to ( human ) take place in the right way. " Thus Bollnow postulated in addition to the aspects of knowledge and the aspect of human interaction as constitutive of the Incarnation. In his later writing "Between Philosophy and Education ", Bollnow therefore relies extensively deals with the concept of a conversation ( dialogue ).
