Contemplative Science
Author: B. Alan Wallace

Publisher: Columbia University Press
Release Date: 2007
Science has long treated religion as a set of personal beliefs that have little to do with a rational understanding of the mind and the universe. This work attempts to bridge this gap by launching an unbiased investigation into the history and practices of science and Buddhist contemplative disciplines.

Over the last twenty years, a great amount of research has been conducted in the field of “Contemplative Science” (CS), considered a crossroads between contemplative spiritual traditions and neuroscience. This is a relatively heterogeneous discipline that includes quite different techniques (mindfulness, compassion, body-mind techniques, etc.), distinct approaches from secular to religious traditions (Buddhism, Vedanta, shamanism, monotheistic religions, etc.), and different sets of terminology that frequently require clarification. One of the more challenging features of CS is its methodology, given the difficulty involved in assessing its introspection dimension. The consequence of all these aspects is that CS has become one of the newest and most interesting fields of research in psychology.

The Routledge Handbook of Research Methods in Spirituality and Contemplative Studies provides the first authoritative overview of methodology in this growing field. Against the background of the pandemic and other global challenges, spirituality is expanding as an agreed term with which to discuss the efforts people make to be fully present to deeper, invisible dimensions of their personal identity and external reality, but until now there have been few resources exploring the different methodological approaches researchers take. This book explores the primary methodologies emerging: First Person, Second Person, and Third Person, and provides a systematisation of spirituality research in applied contexts for the first time. Comprising 33 chapters by a team of international contributors, the book is divided into seven parts: Foundations Approaches to Contemplative Research Contemplative Research in Education Contemplative Research in Work and Leadership Contemplative Research in Science, Health, and Healing Contemplative Research in Social Sciences Contemplative Research and the Way Forward The Handbook provides readers, practitioners, and policymakers with methods and approaches which can facilitate a spiritual and contemplative stance in research activities. It is an essential resource for researchers and students of Religion, Spirituality, and Research Methods.
