THE TROUBLE WITH KEN WILBER

Frank Visser
"The trouble with Ken Wilber, if you ask me, is that, for all his academic phraseology, he is not embedded in a corrective academic community. Instead, he has created a community of admirers of his own, in which he rules supreme. As King in his Integral Castle, his stance is isolationist, aloof, authoritarian - integral ideology is then just around the corner."

KEN WILBER: THE ASIMOV OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Robert Sandberg
"The life and career of Ken Wilber is nothing if not interesting. A google search will reveal that episodes and chapters of recent years involve Wilber losing former fans, readers, followers, and promoters. Why?"
