This collection of scholarship examines the philosophy of education and contemplative studies, focusing on the intersection of mindfulness, evidence-based science, and wisdom traditions. It moves beyond simplistic East/West dichotomies to explore the diversity of wisdom traditions and investigates how mindfulness-based curricular interventions affect educational theory and practice. The work draws on insights from Western philosophers such as Heidegger, Levinas, and Foucault to situate contemplative practice within contemporary educational theory, emphasizing the importance of transcultural and intercultural approaches in the philosophy of education.
