Integral Psychology in Curative Education; Initiation of a holistic structure in social organizational development
Abstract
The American contemporary philosopher Ken Wilber presents an ontological model for understanding and researching phenomenological, human realities in the course of consciousness evolution. An "integral map" is emerging that is definitely praiseworthy because of its complexity and yet simple elegance, as well as varied, realistic, lifelike transferability.
From the meontic point of view (in the sense of the unity of "not everything," see Boehmer, 2006), Wilber's representations are sometimes criticized for being a non-integral system closure. These areas are being exposed and expanded upon.
Practical and creative examples supplement the model in some places, in order to create a continuous practical connection. The excerpt discusses a practical approach to organizing and optimizing a social structure, in particular a curative Kindergarden.
There is an intertwining of philosophical, actual, experience-based, psychological, therapeutic and educational knowledge. The result is a holistic synthesis built on an integral philosophical model.
