How can we combine the sectors and departments of human thinking into a single wholeness that smoothly interconnects all facets of human experience and understanding?

SIGN IN TO RESPOND

The world cries out for integral vision and integral activism. We must devise new ways to transcend traditional borders and engage expertise and human motivation in collective action. In this project, we explore the meaning of integral and holistic thinking, consider its roots in world history, and develop designs for integrating the sectors of human thinking into a brilliant new composite model that can support civilization in the 21st century.

5		Become aware of basic principles of cognitive science and the fundamentals of concept formation.

6		Incorporate ideas from taxonomy, library science, and the theory of classification.

7		Consider insights from contemporary teachers, including Barbara Marx Hubbard and Ken Wilber.
