Integral ethics article in Counseling and Values Journal 2007

Bruce Foster — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 15:41:55 -0600

For what it is worth, my colleague Tim Black and I developed an integral model of counselling ethics that Ken very favourably reviewed. Anyone who would like to review it can send me an e-mail at durwinfoster@gmail.com.

Thanks to Elliott Ingersoll for opening the opportunity for us to write that article.

Jun Po, have you missed the interpersonal nature of this issue?

Durwin Foster — Tue, 08 Feb 2011 19:16:12 -0700

Jun Po -- is this issue REALLY about sleeping with students? I don't think so, although that is a part of it, which you are addressing here.

The point, to my mind, is that Genpo failed the interpersonal test of "what will the impact of my actions be on my wife and family" (1st); then 2nd, "what will be the impact of my actions on my sangha?"; and then, perhaps, third: "what will be the impact of my actions on the broader integral movement?"

Hi Robb,

I would like to play friendly devils advocate (or is that positive deviant?) in reply.

Your opening line, “Your economic stability is critical to your personal development.” I am not sure about this. Critical? Many people learn the most by having an instability. They might learn things like creativity, ingenuity, entrepreneurialism, collaboration, humility, a deep understanding of value...True some people become paralyzed by instability, but others truly rise through this in the most remarkable and innovative ways.

Zimmerman needs to retire. I'm not joking. He doesn't know a thing about climate science and is poorly qualified to speak as an authority on climate change. I don't know how he could be relevant to his field of environmental philosophy any more; maybe he should go into energy since he seems to know a lot (more) about that. Deep ecology and Eco-feminism will do you little good if that is all you have but no scientific background.

Those who would view the IPCC as "politicized" are sadly those who seem least up-to-date on climate science. I am not at all impressed by those who claim to be integrally-informed and are not even in touch with science.

My back is not well enough to sit though a 45-minute discussion although I do plan to get to it. My understanding of Zimmerman's position thus far was based on the discussion with his co-author of Integral Ecology, Sean Esbjorn-Hargens, and assuming that he spoke for Zimmerman as well.

Barbi, as you noted above:

If a graph covers a time period of about 10 years, then it can look like there is no correlation.

If a graph covers a period of about 100 years, then it can look like there is a correlation.

This means that on one graph it can look like there is a correlation, but on another graph it can look like there is no correlation.
