Chapter 1 Introduction: A sociological and philosophical approach to education -- Chapter 2 Fostering rationality in Asian education -- Chapter 3 Redeeming philosophy through the issue-enquiry approach: A case in Hong Kong -- Chapter 4 Sustainable development as a worldview: Implications for education -- Chapter 5 The Water Margin, moral degradation, and the virtue of Zhixing -- Chapter 6 Teachers as translators in Asian religious education -- Chapter 7 Reflections on our individual and collective identities as persons in the world -- Chapter 8 A matrix approach to language policy analysis: The case of Hong Kong -- Chapter 9 Internationalisation of education in Hong Kong: Practice and challenges -- Chapter 10 Glocalization of English language education: Comparison of three contexts in East Asia -- Chapter 11 Re-envisioning teacher education programmes for international students: Towards an emancipatory and transformative educational stance -- Chapter 12 Does Confucianism hinder critical thinking in education? Chapter 13 The Confucian view of lifelong learning: Relevancy to the teaching and learning of older adults -- Chapter 14 Asian education and Asia as method.

This book demonstrates the value of approaching education from a sociological and philosophical perspective. Specifically, it addresses current and long-standing educational issues in the Asia-Pacific region, integrating sociological and philosophical insights with practical applications in four key areas: educational aims, moral education, educational policy, and the East-West dichotomy. It discusses educational aims in terms of rationality, philosophical thinking, and sustainable development and presents the literary, religious, and analytical approaches to moral education. Four educational policies are then considered: Hong Kong's language policy, Hong Kong's policy on the internationalization of education, East Asia's policies on English education, and Australia's policy on teacher education. Different aspects of the East-West dichotomy are analysed: Confucian rationalism versus Western rationalism, Confucian learning culture versus Western learning culture, and Asian research methodology versus Western research methodology. Taken as a whole, the book shows that issues in education are rarely simple, and looking at them from multiple perspectives allows for rich and informed debates. It presents a rare philosophical and sociological analysis of the cultures and experiences of education in the Asia-Pacific region, and promotes research that leads to more culturally rooted educational policies and practice.
