Asian Perspectives on Education for Sustainable DevelopmentAuthor(s): Liz Jackson\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780367359232, 978-0367359232\nSynopsis\nThis book critically considers what various Asian philosophies can contribute to a more substantive discourse on sustainability education and educational philosophy. \n\nThe contributors examine how east and west interact in educational philosophy and practice in Asian contexts. As a collection, they provide a broad view of Asian sustainability thinking that is not dominated by Confucianism, Buddhism, Islam, and post-colonialism, but rather which regards these themesand other frameworks for sustainable educationas dynamic aspects of Asian contexts, both historically and today. As such, the book invites readers to consider the challenges and opportunities for theorising of sustainability in the philosophy of education, while also critically engaging with the way in.
