Arthur’s topic is the value of contemplative pedagogy:
Supports and develops attention, emotional balance.
Can become a mode of inquiry leading to insight.
Cultivation of empathy, altruism and compassion. Right now that is not a part of education in our society, but it could be. I always get annoyed when the scientists in this community say things like that without acknowledging how we got here: namely, secularism and the separation of church and state is the thing that removed ethics and morality from education. Not that religion was doing a good job of it; but in general, if you’re saying “things should be more like this” and you want to actually change society, it’s counterproductive to ignore the societal factors that got us away from your goal in the first place. Oops my commentary made me miss the rest of the slide.
