Hailed as "one of the most significant books ever published," this
work of far-reaching vision is a comprehensive exploration of the
evolution of human consciousness
In this tour de force of scholarship and vision, Ken Wilber traces the
course of evolution from matter to life to mind and describes the common
patterns that evolution takes in all three of these domains. From the
emergence of mind, he traces the evolution of human consciousness
through its major stages of growth and development.
Wilber particularly focuses on modernity and postmodernity: what they
mean; how they impact gender issues, psychotherapy, ecological concerns,
and various liberation movements; and how the modern and postmodern
world conceive of Spirit. This second edition features forty pages of
new material, new diagrams, and extensively revised notes.
