Some of the most important and insightful conversations ever recorded....
In 2006 Ken Wilber published his seminal book Integral Spirituality: A Startling New Role for Religion in the Modern and Postmodern World. This book represents the culmination of more than three decades of Integral theory and practice, suggesting a theory of spirituality that honors the truths of modernity and postmodernity—including the revolutions in science and culture, while incorporating the essential insights of the world's religious traditions. Integral Spirituality demonstrates how today's spirituality must combine the insights of the East with the discoveries of the West, paving the way for a radical new role for the world's religions.
Nobody is more passionate about Ken Wilber's work than you. Which is why we invited you to ask Ken your own questions about Integral Spirituality, resulting in more than 40 hours of groundbreaking dialogue that explores the book in remarkable chapter-by-chapter detail. Integral Spirituality: A Deeper Cut is your personal guide through the ins and outs of Integral theory and practice, and makes an essential companion to Ken's critically-acclaimed book.
