Integral ecology: The what, who, and how of environmental phenomena.Sean Esbjörn-Hargens - 2005 - World Futures 61 (1 & 2):5 – 49.details Providing an overview of Integral Ecology, this article defines and explains some of the key terms and concepts that underlie an approach to the environment that is inspired by and makes use of Ken Wilber's Integral Theory.

Next, the ontology, epistemology, and methodology of environmental phenomena is examined in light of Wilber's framework and illustrated with (...) Download Export citation Bookmark 2 citations
