 See more beauty. As you view this week's art gallery and read the treatment offered by Integral Life Aesthetics Editor Michael Schwartz, take notice of four primary lenses made available by integral aesthetics: the subjective/intentional space of the artist himself; the materials, medium, form, and structure of the art work itself; the historical, economic, and social structure in which the art work is created; and the cultural, linguistic, and intersubjective values space in which the artist works and/or seeks to express.

This has ushered in a time where more than ever before the individual is conscious of the need to filter out certain information if balance is to be maintained. So much is coming at one that one cannot possible click on every link, listen to every video or read every article. There is so much one can tune into that discernment is necessary if one is to listen properly and not be all over the place. Without this discernment, information overload is difficult to avoid." |
New to Integral? Start Here!
We have the intuition that everyone is at least partially right, that no human being is capable of being 100% wrong. But how do you tell just how right everyone is? Some are more right than others—how do you tell the difference?
Integral theory is an attempt to answer that question.
Here we offer some basic overviews of Integral theory and its application in the world, in many different media formats. If you are new to the Integral vision, any of these would be a wonderful place to begin your journey toward a freer and much more enriching life....
