Van: "Integral World" Aan: Onderwerp: Big History 2 Datum: donderdag 27 juni 2013 13:29 Newsletter Nr. 452 Amsterdam, June 27rd, 2013 TWO CONFERENCE PRESENTATIONS ON BIG HISTORY AND INTEGRAL THEORY - Joseph Voros Futurist Joseph Voros contributed an essay for Integral World back in 2002, Reframing Environmental Scanning, in which he introduced Ken Wilber (and Don Beck) into the world of future studies. As Board Member of the International Big History Association he's also deeply involved in the subject of Big History. Here as well, he introduces the dimension of interiority, to complement the common emphasis on growth of complexity. In my essay Integral Theory and the Big History Approach I compared the two worlds of inqury, concluding among other things that Integral Theory needs a better grounding in science, but Big History needs to take a closer look at the interior and cultural dimensions of (at least the human part of) history. Contacting Joseph Voros about possible contributions for Integral World related to these fields of study, he kindly suggested to link to his two recent conference presentations below. They can be read in PDF format.
