The first book-length introduction to an exciting new
interdisciplinary field written by an internationally recognized
leader of the Contemplative Studies movement This is the first
book-length introduction to a growing and influential
interdisciplinary field focused on contemplative practice,
contemplative experience, and contemplative pedagogy. Written by an
internationally recognized leader in the area, Introducing
Contemplative Studies seeks to provide readers with a deep and
practical understanding of the nature and purpose of the field
while encouraging them to find a place of their own in an
increasingly widespread movement. At once comprehensive overview,
critical reflection, and visionary proposal, the book explores the
central approaches and issues in Contemplative Studies, tackles
questions and problems that sometimes go unaddressed, and
identifies promising new developments. The author also discusses
contemplative pedagogy, an experiential approach to teaching and
learning informed by and expressed as contemplative practice. This
is a major introduction to a fast emerging interdisciplinary field
that will be invaluable to those interested in the area. * The only
comprehensive introduction to the emerging, interdisciplinary field
of Contemplative Studies * Written by a distinguished leader in the
Contemplative Studies movement who is founding Co-Chair of the
Contemplative Studies Group of the American Academy of Religion *
Informed by ten years of research and practice, the book explores
the field s varied approaches and expressions * Offers critical
reviews of trends which will create discussions both within and
outside the Contemplative Studies * Liberally illustrated with both
images and charts Introducing Contemplative Studies is a must-read
for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, teachers and
scholars in Contemplative Studies, as well as anyone who is curious
about contemplative practice, meditation, contemplative experience,
contemplative pedagogy, contemplative science, and, of course, the
exciting field of Contemplative Studies generally.
