Abstract

This edited volume is divided into three parts: (1) Confucian, Buddhist, and Chinese Perspectives; (2) Western Philosophy and Religion in Asia; and (3) Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Approaches: Philosophy and Beyond. Some chapters put whole person education in the context of East Asia higher education as case studies; some on the innovative trend of whole person education; some on moral cultures in East Asia; some on social, political, and economic research and value education, and the interdisciplinary studies of them. The classification aims to answer the research questions and fill in the research gap – how the East-West traditions are involved in the philosophy of whole person education, and how values in these traditions become so important and universal.
