Abstract	What does it mean to educate for self-awareness? How does this fit within education, with its other objectives, and other learning processes? These are key questions for more comprehensive versions of the mindful education movement. In order to provide some responses to these questions from a cohesive philosophical position, this article examines the philosophy of education of Mori Akira (1915-1976). It closely analyses his philosophy of self-awareness ("jikaku"), while drawing comparisons with other Kyoto School philosophers. In order to fully understand Mori's particular conception of self-awareness, it traces how this idea developed throughout his entire career: from his first book, "The Philosophical Quest for Educational Ideals" (1948), which focusses on the questing self-awareness of the teacher, to the early-middle period (particularly "The Practicality and Inwardness of Education," 1955, and "Philosophical Anthropology of Education," 1961), which develops a systematic view of the self-awareness of students, and to his final book, "The Fundamental Principles of Human Formation" (1977), which re-examines generativity in light of uncertainty and death. What this trajectory shows is a view of education centred on self-awareness and dynamically wrestling with key educational paradoxes, potentially deepening the philosophical grounding of mindful education.
