Philosophy East/West showcases new scholarship in the philosophy of education and contemplative studies, paying particular attention to the intersection of mindfulness, evidence-based science, and wisdom traditions. * Moves beyond simplistic explanations of Eastern and Western to explore the complexity and diversity of various wisdom traditions * Investigates the effect of mindfulness-based curricular interventions on current educational theory and practice * Uses insights from important Western philosophers including Heidegger, Levinas, and Foucault to situate contemplative practice within contemporary educational theory * Emphasizes the importance of transcultural and intercultural approaches in the philosophy of education
