"In the morally ambiguous workplace of modern corporations, spirituality is a poorly understood topic, and yet one of the most important issues facing organizations today. Lack of spirituality is also a source of many contemporary problems. The Routledge International Handbook of Spirituality in Society and the Professions brings together an impressive array of writers deeply exploring this topic from multiple perspectives and at multiple levels. This book offers the most important concepts, frameworks and examples for understanding spirituality in organizations and society. The book should be of great interest to both researchers and practitioners." - Paul Shrivastava, Professor and Director, Sustainability Institute, Pennsylvania State University, USA, and International Research Chair in Art and Sustainable Enterprise, ICN Business School, France"The immense damage that the relentless search for analytic truth in economic life has caused is now becoming tragically clear as environmental degradation, growing income and political inequality bring about political instability, violence and human suffering. The Routledge International Handbook of Spirituality in Society and the Professions explores and shows how and why spirituality is an indispensable part our lives rather than some 'exogenous' factor that, for the sake of the mathematical elegance of some model, can be safely ignored. This outstanding volume is part of the growing effort of social scientists, philosophers and theologians to find the way out of this catastrophic path by reincorporating into economic thinking what makes us human." - Peter Rona, Fellow, Blackfriars Hall, Oxford University, UK"The Routledge International Handbook of Spirituality in Society and the Professions is a fantastic publication which provides a long term vision regarding the importance of spirituality in human lives. The handbook indicates the approaches of spirituality in all social sciences, fine arts, and professions. It establishes some guidelines from which future scholars can extend the frontiers of their work in doing research in various fields." - Manas Chatterji, Professor of Management, Binghamton University, USA, and President, Mahatma Gandhi International Research Center for Conflict Prevention and Management, Bangalore, India
