In
this groundbreaking book, Ken Wilber uses his widely acknowledged "spectrum of
consciousness" model to completely rewrite our approach to such important
fields as psychology, spirituality, anthropology, cultural studies, art and
literary theory, ecology, feminism, and planetary transformation. What would
each of those fields look like if we wholeheartedly accepted the existence of
not just body and mind but also soul and spirit?
In
a stunning display of integrative embrace, Wilber weaves these various
fragments together into a coherent and compelling vision for the modern and
postmodern world.
