This book re-examines and reinterprets post-secular insights surrounding contemporary educational theory and philosophy. Drawing upon Eckhart, Teilhard de Chardin and Tillich, the book demonstrates the continuing significance of the Christian mystical tradition to educational theory, and challenges deeply held convictions about tolerance and inclusivity in contemporary educational culture. By doing so, each chapter proposes an inclusive exploration of democratic education that brings together two apparently irreconcilable poles; the meaning of religion in education and contemporary life, as well as the need for a deliberative democratic process, fit for the post-secular age.
