This book explores the culture of our thinking in relation to
spirituality. It focuses largely on psychological science and the
problems faced by scientists as they attempt to understand
spirituality in action. The book attempts to untangle the concept
of spirituality from various cultural attachments and it considers
the way different worldviews and different philosophical
perspectives can influence the models of spirituality we build. The
book moves toward a contextualist view of spirituality, focusing in
particular on the act in context, and it moves the reader to
consider spirituality as the ultimate testing ground for pragmatic
analysis. In this context, spirituality has to become more than a
simple abstraction to survive, because to survive the test of
pragmatic analysis it must facilitate successful action in context.
The fact that spirituality has survived as a working concept for
thousands of years suggests that it is resilient in this respect.
However, to survive in the modern culture of science it needs to
constantly reinvent itself as a working concept. Ultimately,
spirituality, in this book, resurfaces from the depths of
abstraction as part of an ongoing action state that has real
functional significance. Spirituality comes to be identified as a
worthy focus of analysis for children and adults alike as part of
the science of education itself. Spirituality is not an abstraction
to be feared and branded as anti-scientific. But to reverse
engineer spiritual consciousness and spiritual action is no easy
task either. Insight and out-sight must reach some form of
compromise.
