The Birth of an Integral Spirituality

This autumn, American philosopher Ken Wilber will release Integral Spirituality, a book whose aim is to completely transform the way the world sees the spiritual dimension of life. WIE takes an exclusive look between the covers of this ambitious project and examines the extraordinary work of a man with a vision big enough to encompass the whole Kosmos.

Part 1:

A Philosopher of Everything

An introduction to the work of the individual who many feel is redefining philosophy for the twenty-first century—and revolutionizing nearly every other field of knowledge in the process.

by Carter Phipps

Part 2: The Guru and the Pandit

God’s Playing a New Game

In this illuminating dialogue, WIE founder Andrew Cohen’s twenty years of experience as a spiritual teacher provides a dynamic counterpoint to Ken Wilber’s comprehensive integral theory. The result is far more than an exchange of ideas, as “guru and pandit” bring their rigorous inquiry and spiritual passion to a lively exploration of Wilber’s new manifesto.
