Confucian Perspectives on Learning and Self-Transformation, 1st ed. 2020 International and Cross-Disciplinary Approaches Contemporary Philosophies and Theories in Education Series, Vol. 14
Coordonnateurs : Reichenbach Roland, Kwak Duck-Joo
This book bridges the regions of East Asia and the West by offering a detailed and critical inquiry of educational concepts of the East Asian tradition. It provides educational thinkers and practitioners with alternative resources and perspectives for their educational thinking, to enrich their educational languages and to promote the recognition of educational thoughts from different cultures and traditions across a global world.
The key notions of Confucian and Neo-Confucian philosophy directly concern the ideals, processes and challenges of learning, education and self-transformation, which can be seen as the western equivalences of liberal education, including the German concept of Bildung. All the topics in the book are of fundamental interest across diverse cultures, giving a voice to a set of long-lasting and yet differentiated cultural traditions of learning and education, and thereby creating a common space for critical philosophical reflection of one's own educational tradition and practice.

Her recent research interests are in arts-education, philosophy of teacher education, and comparative philosophy of education on the humanistic traditions between the East and West.
