THE DATA AND METHODOLOGIES OF INTEGRAL SCIENCE

Kurt Koller, working for the Integral Science department of 
Integral University, sent me one of his essays on integral 
science:
"This essay introduces a methodology for Integral Science, 
called Integral Methodological Pluralism (IMP). Tracing the 
development of epistemological and ontological relationships 
in the writings of Ken Wilber, the paper attempts to demonstrate 
how such a methodology might be applied. I consider Wilber's 
elucidations of three core principles of valid knowledge 
(injunction, apprehension, and consensual validation) along 
with three essential elements of an IMP (nonexclusion, 
enfoldment, and enactment)."

AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW ON STATES (2 PARTS)

Here's one of the older essays published on Integral World 
in 2003, which is still worth reading. Mark Edwards reviews 
Wilber's recent view on states of consciousness in a 22.000 
words, two-part critique, which was, typically, never answered 
by Wilber:
"This essay begins with four quotes from Ken's writings on 
infant spirituality.
All of the quotes concern the relationship of infants to the 
experience of transpersonal spirituality. Two of them assert 
that infants have "authentic"
access to those realms and two of them assert that they don't. 
In the following I simply try to work out which two are valid 
and which two aren't. If all four of them are correct then 
the current integral theory of states is in need of some 
very serious house cleaning."
