Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution
by Steve McIntosh
On This Page
Description
The integral worldview represents the next crucial step in the development of our civilization. Through its enlarged understanding of the evolution of consciousness and culture, the emerging perspective known as integral consciousness provides realistic and pragmatic solutions to our growing global problems, both environmental and political. As McIntosh convincingly demonstrates, the integral worldview's transformational potential provides a way to literally become the change we want to see show more in the world. This is really two books in one: the first half serves as an accessible and highly readable introduction to the power of integral consciousness, with the second half making a variety of original contributions to the integral perspective and breaking new ground in the application of integral philosophy to politics and spirituality. Moreover, McIntosh provides a much-needed contextualization and critique of the integral worldview's leading author, Ken Wilber, which helps make integral philosophy relevant to a larger audience. show lessTags

The book was so exciting! I waned to read it for ages, and when I finally got it my expectations were really high, and it went even better. I liked the presentation of the material very much. The historical part, practical overview of possibilities to stepping forward, and also the disclosure of Spiral of Development was done very impressively and with lots of detail, plus, very easy and light to read, not to over-complicated, but not deliberately simplified over. Definitely a book that you will enjoy having in you personal library!
