The validity claims force us to confront reality; they curb our egoic fantasies and self-centered ways; they demand evidence from the rest of the Kosmos; they force us outside of ourselves! They are the checks and balances in the Kosmic Constitution.
Ken Wilber
Introduction
If we are all made up of atoms and molecules, where does our consciousness come from?
According to the American philosopher Ken Wilber, there is more to humanity and the universe than what we can perceive through our senses.
Wilber's famous works on transpersonal psychology include The Eye of Spirit, The Marriage of Sense and Soul, Integral Psychology, and A Theory of Everything.
All his life, Wilber has worked on developing a universal theory - one that explains everything.
In A Brief History of Everything, first published in 1996 with an anniversary edition coming out in 2017, Wilber attempts to find a common thread in the ways in which humans have evolved physically, psychologically, culturally, and spiritually over the centuries.
