| Résumé: | This paper takes a philosophical view of the spiritual concept ‘relational consciousness’ first proposed by Rebecca Nye in 1998. I will consider the relational aspect of spirituality through the ontology of Heidegger and the dialogical relationship ‘I and Thou’ of Martin Buber, examining the problems that contingency and mediation within consciousness bring particularly to a child’s notion of ‘God’. Through two writings of Hegel, I will introduce a speculative model where learning takes place within the ‘middle’ of human and transpersonal relationships and will present this as a basis for critical and political spiritual education. |
