Different historical eras are characterized by different governing forms of knowledge and identity. Jenny Crawford argues that the contemporary, postmodern, global context creates the conditions for an emerging genre of knowledge, described in this book as "spiritually-engaged", which reframes the project of knowledge within ethical and spiritual horizons. Part one explores globalization theory and postmodernism and explains why a spiritually-engaged knowledge is emerging in the present era. Part two identifies the proposed genre of spiritually-engaged knowledge via an interdisciplinary approach embracing postmodern ethics, feminism, psychology, environmentalism and spirituality.
