Applying his highly acclaimed integral approach, Ken Wilber formulates a theory of spirituality that honors the truths of modernity and postmodernity—including the revolutions in science and culture—while incorporating the essential insights of the great religions. He shows how spirituality today combines the enlightenment of the East, which excels at cultivating higher states of consciousness, with the enlightenment of the West, which offers developmental and psychodynamic psychology. Each contributes key components to a more integral spirituality. On the basis of this integral framework, a radically new role for the world’s religions is proposed. Because these religions have such a tremendous influence on the worldview of the majority of the earth’s population, they are in a privileged position to address some of the biggest conflicts we face. By adopting a more integral view, the great religions can act as facilitators of human development: from magic to mythic to rational to pluralistic to integral—and to a global society that honors and includes all the stations of life along the way. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The book to begin with for Integral TheoryKen Wilber has significantly improved his clarity in explaining most of the Integral Model details. He has especially improved in detailing how individuals at different stages perceive different aspects of reality. Wilber goes into further depth regarding interior/exterior aspects of the quadrants, which is not his usual style, and readers will find this expanded explanation interesting but slightly more difficult to grasp (he needs more practice explaining this one clearly). ...

Amazon's return policy does not cover shipping expense for returns even when the product is defective. This is not fair to the buyer. Rating:  - Integral What whut whut?Bias is a wonderful thing,especially coming from a man who is bias comes from the religion of no religion, or buddhism. Of all the books I've ever got a bad vibe from it was this book. I love his Integral Psychology because its right on! But I read through this book, Integral Spirituality, and like anything over thought through the thinking process, it lacks feeling, emotion. And I just skimmed the book enough to see that detachment actually yeilds a catuerized over intellectualized summation of an ... Read More Rating: - An overview of some upgrades Wilber makes in this book Ken Wilber's book, Integral Spirituality, has some new insights to offer, including an upgrade of his four-quadrant model. Taking into account that a holon in any of the four quadrants can be seen from the outside, or experienced as--or as if--from within, this gives a total of eight perspectives or zones. The Four Quadrants with eight primordial perspectives, or hori-zones of arising, and their respective methodologies: Upper Left ["I" inside: zone #1] [phenomenology] ... Read More Rating: - Ken's worst book yetTwo years ago I opened up Ken Wilber's "Sex, Ecology and Spirituality" (SES) and was floored by its profundity. It gave me a powerful new framework through which to understand the world, and I proceeded to read another half dozen of his books, hungry for more of his ontological and psycho-spiritual insight. It's been a downhill journey, and I think with "Integral Spirituality" it's hit bottom. I've never bothered to review a book but feel compelled to now because this book was such a waste of time. I was so disappointed ... Read More
