Essential IntegralThe course is intended to provide a solid foundation in integral theory. It consists of seven lessons, one introduction lesson, and five lessons on the fundamental factors of integral analysis. Integral The theory lesson, which integrates them all (naturally), as well as a review lesson. For the 8 weeks that it takes to finish the course, I will cover one lesson per week. After which, I will take the test (hopefully) and pass it.

LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION to INTEGRAL THEORY
1. The Integral Vision
What are the common factors between the different types and stages of human growth? This could be spiritual, cultural, or social. You can study the world’s traditions to help you understand this. Is it possible to link these diverse stories of human emergence in an integrated or all-inclusive map that takes into consideration both their similarities as well as their differences?
This map has been searched for over the last few decades.
The research covered many academic disciplines including systems theory and cognitive science.
Cross cultures between Eastern and Western traditions
Included experience gained from both spiritual and physical training disciplines
The five fundamental factors that are the key to human evolution and unlocking these traditions’ integral map can be broken down into five simple elements. These five elements of the integral map show you the contours of different dimensions of your being. You can discover more compassionate and effective ways to be yourself. It can be used to solve problems on a personal and global level.
2. The meaning of Integral

One definition of “integral” It is “having or containing all parts that are necessary to be complete.” The idea behind the integral approach is to examine all approaches to solving problems and not exclude any one approach simply because it fits perfectly with others. The integral approach starts with the realization that every entity you look at is both part and whole. The integral theory concept is also crucial because you might encounter different phenomena and experiences if you look at the entity with different approaches.
3. Some Integral Pioneers
a. James Mark Baldwin (1861-1934)
He is the first developmental psychologist to recognize that human development occurs in three distinct domains: the artistic, the moral, and scientific. He attempted to account for the development of religious, mystical and religious experience. His attempts to integrate religion and psychology were unmatched at the time; however, his accomplishments were overshadowed by psychology’s increasing focus on models that focused on external behavior rather than internal experience.
Alfred North Whitehead (1861-1947).
He was a mathematician, logician, and pioneer in the philosophy science. He was against the “positivist” School of philosophy that championed reductionism, the belief that all perspectives can be reduced to one. He believed that the interior perspectives of life were an essential and irreducible part of the universe. He also proposed an interesting definition for evolution as a creative progression into novelty. Post-modernism, which developed after the 1950s, critiqued Whitehead’s metaphysics, but the perspectives afforded by integral theory can redeem his ideas for a post-post-modern world.
c. Sri Aurobindo (1872-1950)
Indian philosopher and sage, he developed a philosophy and spiritual system that was called “Integral Yoga.” He saw the world divided into two philosophical camps: those who believed in ancient wisdom traditions but distrusted modern worldviews, and those who believed the modern worldview but distrusted ancient wisdom traditions. These are both fragmented and partial ways of viewing the world , and was one of the first philosophers who tried to bridge the two by showing a deep understanding of both the concept of evolution as described by modern science and the insights derived from the world’s ancient traditions. His work was quickly dismissed by the dominant nature of materialism, and later, the rise of postmodernism.
Jean Gebser (1905-1973).
Jean Gebser, a philosopher, was an expert in the theory and practice of phenomenology, which is the study of consciousness. He also had a reputation as linguist, poet, and linguist. He was dissatisfied by materialist explanations for the differences in cultures and came up with the theory that consciousness undergoes novel transformations. These transformations can be experienced in the same way across cultures. Each level of consciousness is unique in that it expands on the experience of the previous level and makes it more accessible. One example of this growth in consciousness is the evolution of the visual arts. These artists, as they developed from medieval to modern art, were able to incorporate different perspectives and time into the depiction the subjects of their paintings. His insights are increasingly being recognized as developmental studies return to the mainstream.
e. Jurgen Habermas (1929-present)
He is considered one of the greatest philosophers today. His theory on communicative action acknowledges that there are multiple domains to truth. This includes the objective domain in science and the subjective domain in experience. “intersubjective” Domain of culture. All claims of truth must be verified internally within the relevant domain.
Jean Piaget, a development theorist, also influenced his theories. His greatest contribution to philosophy was his recognition that postmodernism could lead to some philosophical excesses. For his legacy, this balanced critique of postmodernism is crucial. Integral Theory.
These pioneers shared some traits:
A fascination with evolution, growth and development
A refusal to reduce the interior dimension of the exterior (i.e., a rejection or reductionism).
A desire for a balanced understanding among the three domains of objectivity, subjectivity, and intersubjectivity.
