- 소개/요약Mindfulness as a spiritual and a secular practice has been gaining both adherents and scientific legitimacy as a path to emotional and physical healing. There is also an emerging social movement that posits mindfulness as a solution to many otherwise intractable social problems. Influential social and political leaders are promoting the ideal of a “mindful society” as a foundation for increased human flourishing and ecological well-being. This Presidential Address explores these developments by offering a kind of meta-mindfulness, a sociological awareness of the strengths and limitations of how mindfulness has been adapted to our cultural milieu. I offer suggestions on the positive contributions that sociology might make to the mindfulness social movement, with special attention to the concept of sociological mindfulness. I suggest that sociology has an important role to play in the shift toward the contemplative that is happening in higher education across many disciplines.
