But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it. (Orr, 2004, p. 12)  \nIntroduction  \nImproving education to create a more equitable world is a lofty vision and a dream shared by many people. However, we—researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in education—seldom discuss the deeply held values that would make such an equitable world possible. In this article, we contend that the bedrock of an equitable world lies in the profound recognition of love as the fundamental force permeating the cosmos. This idea resonates with the philosophical and moral insights of important spiritual teachers, both historical and contemporary, such as Confucius, Mahatma Gandhi, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (King, 1999; Lin, 2006, 2018) . They teach us that love is the energy that sustains the universe, making us truly human.  \nWe believe that love is built into the essence ofwho we are. We are born with the capacity and need for love. During the nascent stages of human life, infants are wholly reliant on the affection and care provided by others for their sustenance and development; humans in their infancy would not survive without the care and love of others. Moreover, extending our gaze beyond humanity, we see that love serves as the vital energy propelling the diverse spectrum of life forms inhabiting our planet (Bekoff, 2007) . For example, elephants walk in a group with their young in the center being protected by the adult elephants in the outer ring. This exemplifies the profound sense of care and compassion ingrained in nature’s design (Moss, 2000) . Likewise, when humans extend their attention and care to the well-being of plants, these organisms respond with","cbCairwgWUcIPh8K","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairwgWUcIPh8K","pdf",375563,11,"English","# Introduction\n## Love as a foundational force for equity\n## Love, oneness, and education’s values","[{\"question\":\"What does the article identify as the foundation of an equitable world?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that the bedrock of an equitable world is the profound recognition of love as a fundamental force permeating the cosmos.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article criticize how contemporary education currently treats love?\",\"answer\":\"It states that education often relegates love, care, joy, and trust to the periphery, leaving equity as abstract rhetoric focused on resources and access.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article connect love to how the universe functions?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that love manifests through virtues like respect and interdependence, which are presented as principles that maintain harmony and unity in the cosmos.\"}]","Embodying Deeply Held Values in Education - Seeking a More Equitable World for Both Humans and Non-Humans | PDF",1792092762,28]
