Ken Wilber & Integral Theory

Integral Theory
foundations
a method for interdisciplinarity?
the "great realms" of evolution:
- material, biological, and historical
- cosmic, biosocial, sociocultural
- physical, biological, psychological
- matter, life, mind
- Wilber: physiosphere, biosphere, noosphere
Wilber's question:
How can we become more fully human and at the same time be saved from the state of being merely human? Where is the spirit in this God-forsaken, Goddess-forsaken world of modernity? Why are we destroying Gaia in the very attempt to improve our own condition? Why are so many attempts at salvation suicidal? How do we actually fit into this larger Kosmos? How are we whole individuals who are also parts of something Larger?
structure
quadrants + four qualities
holons
states of consciousness (transitory)
- wholes which are part of other wholes
- it's holons all the way down.
- 'nested'
- as you go 'up' each holon transcends and includes the 'lower' holons
Kosmos
In any particular situation, states of consciousness may not be a very important factor, or they may be the determining factor, but no integral approach can afford to ignore them.
meditative, waking, dreaming, etc
The Kosmos contains the cosmos (or the physiosphere), the bios (or biosphere), nous (the noosphere), and theos (the theosphere or divine domain) - none of them being foundational (even spirit shades into Emptiness).
so... let's 'think out loud' about Integral Theory as a method for interdisciplinarity
