Evolutionary Dynamics - Ken Wilber

Course Summary:

Ken Wilber’s “Evolutionary Dynamics” is an in-depth exploration of his integral theory as it relates to the evolution of consciousness and the Kosmos (Wilber’s term for the totality of existence). The course delves into the fundamental principles of integral theory, including the four quadrants (interior-individual, exterior-individual, interior-collective, exterior-collective), the levels of consciousness, the lines of development, and the states of consciousness. Wilber presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the unfolding of reality from its earliest physical manifestations to the complexities of human consciousness and beyond. The course aims to provide a holistic and integrated understanding of evolution, not just in a biological sense, but also in terms of psychological, social, and spiritual development.
