It challenges us to reconsider the purpose of education itself as nothing short of the liberating and loving experience of this transformation. In advocating such, Chu offers here a rich contribution?interdisciplinary and international in its scope and reach?through her most apt and elegant analysis of complex concepts from Buddhism, quantum physics and the new sciences, and classical and continental philosophy, as well as curriculum theory. Courageously taking up these traditions?deftly translated and explained, and cogently brought together; she compels us to contemplate anew the claims of truth upon us in our work and to which we aspire through it; and calls us to further advance curriculum conversations and undertakings that are not only scientifically employed and informed, but also spiritually engaged and understood.? ?Molly Quinn, Professor, Curriculum Studies, Augusta University, USA, and President, American Association for the Advancement of Curriculum Studies This book addresses the issue of de-spiritualization in education through an interdisciplinary lens. It draws on curriculum scholarship of Dwayne Huebner, Martin Heidegger?s interpretation of Plato?s allegory of the cave, Buddhism, theories and philosophies of quantum physics, and philosophical hermeneutics, among others. In doing so, the author reveals the relationship between spiritual truth and education and uncovers the ultimate nature of consciousness, self, and reality. On this basis, she works to explore curriculum as an experience of consciousness transformation vital to the essence and purpose of education and, in conclusion, argues for reason with faith and faith with reason as well as the imperative of curriculum imbued with spiritual wisdom and lived experiences. 410 0$aCurriculum Studies Worldwide 606 $aCurriculums (Courses of study) 606 $aEducation?Curricula 606 $aEducation?Philosophy 606 $aSpirituality 606 $aChurch and education 606 $aAlternative Education 606 $aCurriculum Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O15000 606 $aEducational Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O38000 606 $aSpirituality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1A9000 606 $aReligion and Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O41000 606 $aAlternative Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O51000 615 0$aCurriculums (Courses of study). 615 0$aEducation?Curricula. 615 0$aEducation?Philosophy. 615 0$aSpirituality. 615 0$aChurch and education. 615 0$aAlternative Education. 615 14$aCurriculum Studies. 615 24$aEducational Philosophy. 615 24$aSpirituality. 615 24$aReligion and Education. 615 24$aAlternative Education. 676 $a375.001 700 $aChu$b Elise L$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064523 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349338403321 996 $aExploring Curriculum as an Experience of Consciousness Transformation$92538783 997 $aUNINA
