About this book series
This series publishes books
that examine fundamental questions of life, touching on the meaning, purpose,
and mission of education from a variety of spiritual and religious
perspectives. The series provides a forum for scholars to explore how to engage
learners spiritually and holistically. It studies how spirituality, religion,
and education intertwine with the learning of wisdom, peacebuilding, cultural
and interfaith dialogues, and the integration of learners' body, mind,
emotions, and spirit. Commonalities and differences among spiritual and
religious traditions are explored alongside new developments from science that
bridge the spirit and the mind. The series especially pays attention to the
educational initiatives, outcomes, and programs that simultaneously engage the
cognitive, affective, and spiritual dimensions of both students and educators.
The world we live in focuses mostly on education for the intellect, thus
restricting our ability to explore and understand deeply the nature of the
cosmos and the meaning of our life. Although education is accessible to more
people than ever before in human history, the dominant paradigm focuses solely
on knowledge, skill, and material acquisition that neglects the meaning and
purpose of life. This creates a huge void in learners and produces a huge
number of people who are unhappy, unfulfilled, restless, lost, or desperate. An
education that distills and recovers wisdom from spiritual and religious
traditions can fill the void and help cultivate citizens who have love,
compassion, knowledge, and the capacities for enlightened action. Books in the
series address these age-old pursuits of inquiry, meaning, purpose, growth,
transformation, and change.
