This comprehensive work presents a compelling theoretical framework for integrating insights about ecology from all over the map--from scientists, economists, ethicists, activists, philosophers--based on Ken Wilber's Integral Theory. But it's not just theory. The authors examine dozens of real-life applications of Integral Ecology currently in use, and they provide personal practices of transformation you can use to increase your own integral ecological awareness.
Today there is a bewildering diversity of views on ecology and the natural environment. With more than two hundred distinct and valuable perspectives on the natural world-and with scientists, economists, ethicists, activists, philosophers, and others often taking completely different stances on the issues-how can we come to agreement to solve our toughest environmental problems? In response to this pressing need, Integral Ecology unites valuable insights from multiple perspectives into a comprehensive theoretical framework-one that can be put to use right now. The framework is based on Integral Theory, as well as Ken Wilber's AQAL model, and is the result of over a decade of research exploring the myriad perspectives on ecology available to us today and their respective methodologies. Dozens of real-life applications and examples of this framework currently in use are examined, including three in-depth case studies: work with marine fisheries in Hawai'i, strategies of eco-activists to protect Canada's Great Bear Rainforest, and a study of community development in El Salvador. In addition, eighteen personal practices of transformation are provided for you to increase your own integral ecological awareness. Integral Ecology provides the most sophisticated application and extension of Integral Theory available today, and as such it serves as a template for any truly integral effort.
