Abstract
This paper examines the development of research on spirituality in various academic fields, by introducing the criticism on the modern scientific paradigm and the conventional knowledge construction, including the feminist theoretical perspectives. I shall also connect the research development on spirituality with the global education and attempt to search for the direction of global education in the future. Research on spirituality has been actively promoted in various academic fields including science and education, and interdisciplinary study on connectedness of matters and spirit seems to be an universal phenomenon today. Research on spirituality in various fields has significant implications for the development of global education.
