  2. Integral Political-Economic Field Theory (IPEFT) (Synthesizing My Research Strands) Integral Neoclassical Economic Growth Endogenous Growth Theory Integral Scientific Pluralism Holarchical Development Integral Political Economy Integral Political-Economic Field Theory Holarchical Field Theory IPEFT: One overarching argument: Triple Crises (environmental, inequality, & financial) Breakthru AND Breakdown Significant Shadow expansion in the political-economic line

  3. Wilber’s Eight Zones as Perspectives AND Realms Wilber: 8 perspectives 8 methodologies 4 objects (quadrants) Here: 8 perspectives 8 methodologies, & 8 objects (zones)

  6. Integral Scientific Pluralism (Individual 24 Zones)

  7. Integral Scientific Pluralism (Collective 24 Zones)

  8. Primary Vs. Secondary Methods Primary Methods The stated, transparent, or judged method. Secondary Methods The unconscious, unjustified, or inadequatly judged methods.

  9. Integral Scientific Modularity (ISM) What is Wilber’s Method? Orienting generalization strung together? (Crittendon, 1997; Wilber 2000) Only at the metatheoretical level can generalization be evaluated. Edward (2010) Integral Scientific Modularity: Findings across disciplines contextualized and integrated Partially valid taken with best methods for that zone Erroneous aspects removed in light of objects enacted more fully

  10. Holarchical Development (Bowman 2009, IJTS; Bowman, 2006, ATP) 1. Corrects for AQAL’s Ascending Bias 2. Specifies a Dynamic Drive Specify a dynamic drive 3. Nested Pyramids

  11. Ascending Bias in the Twenty Tenets • Wilber’s dynamic drives: • Horizontal: • Autonomy (+) • Communion (+) • Vertical • Self-transcendence (+) • Self-dissolution (-) • Notice: • Postive ascent • Negative descent • Holarchical Dev’t provides: • a positive and negative ascending and descending drives • plus positive and negative per pole of each duality that creates the 8 zones

  12. Transcend, Include, and Exclude transcendenceinclusionaction strategyexclusion formal operations concrete ops. goal: win vs. lose, negative cause and effect minimize negative feelings reason feelings relativistic formal ops. participation for purpose, reason perspective everyone win, express feelings, suppress intellect, 1st to fully recognize all previous stages (Wilber, 1995; Beck and Cowan, 1996) Orange Green Integral

  13. Relative Intensities => Must allow for varying intensity of development in different holarchical directions Also true horizontally: Stages oscillate in emphasis in autonomy & communion (Beck and Cowan, 1996) Modernity: emphasis on exterior (Wilber’s “collapse of the Kosmos”) Postmodernity: emphasis on LL (culturally created meaning)
