Abstract: (Show)
Four accounts of intersubjective theory are explored as a means for providing distinctions that support the development of second-person approaches to the emerging field of contemplative education. I examine Martin Buber's conception of the interhuman, Thich Nhat Hahn's interbeing, Christian De Quincey's three modes of intersubjective engagements, in addition to Wilber's five categories of intersubjectivity with consideration for how each will contribute to further outlining second-person dimensions of contemplative education. I then locate intersubjectivity in a broader epistemological terrain and propose the notion of critical second-person contemplative education as a type of pedagogy and approach to learning within contemplative education.
