Integralism has to confront deep philosophical questions

Integralism has to confront deep philosophical questions as to the nature of our experience: sensory, mental and spiritual.
  • What does it mean that we touch Reality with such diverse avenues of knowledge?
  • Why has modernity priviledged knowledge based on the phsyical senses -- resulting in the physicalist worldview held sacred by many in the modernist and postmodernist world?
  • And when we undo this restriction, and open ourselves up to knowledge gained by other means than the senses, such as interpretation (eye of mind) and spiritual realization (eye of spirit), what does that tell us about the Kosmos we live in?
  • If flatland denies interiority, what does rehabilitating interiority (or consciousness) mean in terms of formulating a view of reality at large -- otherwise known as ontology? Perennialism Postmodernism Integralism Frank Visser June 2004
