Embracing Life and Death: Diverse Perspectives on Living, Dying, and Beyond (Volume 2)

Brill, 2026

Embracing Life and Death, Volume 2 deepens the exploration begun in Volume 1 by inviting readers to engage with the interwoven processes of living, dying, and transformation. The volume brings together twenty-two chapters written by thirty-five authors from four continents, including scholars, educators, healers, artists, caregivers, and physicians whose work bridges science, education, and lived experience. Drawing on narrative inquiry, autoethnography, contemplative research, and arts-based approaches, contributors examine how awareness, compassion, and presence shape experiences across the life–death continuum. Chapters address themes such as mindfulness in medicine and caregiving, birth and motherhood as sites of transition, transrational ways of knowing, spirituality, social justice, and the relevance of ancient wisdom traditions in contemporary education. Across these diverse contexts, Authentic Inquiry is extended into new domains of wellness, ethics, and community, presenting inquiry itself as a relational and life-sustaining practice. Written for educators, researchers, healthcare professionals, and contemplative practitioners, Embracing Life and Death, Volume offers integrative perspectives on what it means to live and die well. By bringing philosophical reflection into dialogue with lived experience, the volume invites readers to join an ongoing crossing—toward wisdom, wholeness, and compassionate engagement with self, others, and the more-than-human world.
