This research examines one of the fundamental issues of human ontology: understanding the cultural acts that shape the structure of life. This is achieved by analyzing Jaspers' views, particularly the concept of the "Axial Age" of culture, utilizing a conceptual analysis method of the interpretive type. Jaspers believes that philosophy is an individual endeavor to attain truth, offering humans the opportunity to both "become human" and live according to the principle of "being on the way." This philosophical approach is considered an essential tool for humanity's construction and reconstruction of cultural reality, and a means for interpreting, understanding, and perceiving the world around them. Jaspers' views on the nature of humanity and the process of "being on the way" are of particular importance. A human being focused on self-discovery and self-development authentically participates in reality, and through their continuous self-creation, they imbue their surroundings with a cultural identity and enhance its value.
