  • Chapter
Transformative Learning Meets Bildung

Part of the book series: International Issues in adult Education ((ADUL))

Abstract

There are many conceptualizations of transformative learning. Most relevant to this chapter is the literature that connects to the spiritual/cultural perspectives on transformative learning (Taylor, 2008), which merges Mezirow’s (1991) conception of transformative learning with spiritual and cultural dimensions discussed by numerous authors (Brooks, 2000; Charaniya, 2012; Tisdell, 2003).
