Abstrakt
The American contemporary philosopher Ken Wilber (born January 31, 1949) presents an ontological model for understanding (and researching) phenomenological realities in the course of the evolution of consciousness with reference to the premodern wisdom traditions and other well-known wisdom teachers, philosophers and psychologists. An '' integral map '' crystallizes, which is to be definitely appreciated due to its complexity and simultaneous simple elegance, as well as a possible practical transferability.
With Wilber, phenomenal experience is expanded in the course of state experiences (in the left quadrant) compared to some conventional philosophical paradigms, and in the ontological experience space, the possibility of integrating religious (spiritual) and / or transpersonal experience arises. From a meontic point of view (in the sense of the unity of '' not everything ''), however, Wilber's representations have to put up with the comment in some places that they are in a non-integral system closure.
This can also be stated against the background of a philosophical, integral religious paradigm. Said areas are highlighted and expanded.
The always '' open integral '' as a potential for a constantly new philosophy of '' being on the move '' is the synthesis result of the present doctoral thesis. Practical and creative examples supplement the model representation at some points in order to establish a continuous, practical reference.
The content was developed within the framework of the humanistic faculty of Charles University in Prague (head: Prof. Sepp).
The excerpt addresses two central modes of knowledge, as well as three languages of knowledge ('' eyes of knowledge ''), which Ken Wilber postulates as integral (i.e. here: '' mutually enriching '') aspects. Human consciousness is undoubtedly a very interesting phenomenon.
In some paradigms and presentations, one focuses on the content of consciousness, e.g. what arguments there are in the context of a topic, or how an investigation design should be worked out in order to reduce confounding variables. This article is about sketching Wilbers' philosophy fundamentally by first listing the existing approaches (or basic methods) which - according to Wilber - are available to people about consciousness or themselves (human existence and life) to explore
