Exploring mindfulness and systemic change through the lens of metamodern political philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The interconnected crises of the 21st century stem from imbalanced progress and demand a holistic systems change, requiring coordinated effort by the public, private, and civil sectors in fostering inner skills that citizens need in order to collectively face the metacrisis. This urgency is reflected in the emergence of metamodern political philosophy, which emphasizes often-overlooked, complex interrelations between modes of individual psychological growth and collective societal change. This paper focuses on the example of how mindfulness practice could be applied in education and political leadership. It argues that the fundamental reform of education systems must be elevated to the status of a major political issue requiring international attention. The paper further explores examples that demonstrate the possibility of incorporating the topic of inner development into politics.
