 Rating: - An interesting book on truth and knowledgeKen Wilber's, A Brief History of Everything, is not about everything. For example it does not include Al Gianfriddo robbing Joe Dimaggio of a home run in the 1947 World Series. Wilber, however, might argue that it does. The book is an attempt to integrate all knowledge. For Wilber there is no such thing as a single truth. Instead knowledge is divided into four quadrants. Two are exterior (Individual) and exterior (collective--social). Wilber puts these on the upper and lower right sides of his scheme. ...

I knew it was going to be bad when he made up a new word for a meaningless concept. He claims that everything is both a whole, onto itself, and a part of something larger, called a "holon".

Read More Rating:  - "A mistake inside of an enigma wrapped in bubble-wrap."Through an unfortunate clicking error, I accidentally purchased a copy of Ken Wilber's opus "A Brief History of Everything." I had read snippets of other Wilber books in the past and was saddened by my purchasing error when the box arrived from Amazon. I reminded myself, however, that in the past I had made other purchasing mistakes and had then been ultimately pleased by the book when I finally got down to reading it. That was not the case with "A Brief History". Armed with two ... Read More Rating: - Kosmology 101One of the best and most useful maps of the Kosmos ever conceived. A clear introduction to Wilber's seminal Integral Theory. Meant for the general reader, it is much less cumbersome than Wilber's more detailed and scholarly works. Wilber's effort is essentially an attempt to map together all known models of development from every field of knowledge, East and West. He discovers an elegant means of fitting them all together, which is brilliant in its simplicity and potent in its explanatory power. Basically, any ... Read More
