TWILIGHT IN THE INTEGRAL WORLD - INTEGRAL THEORY AND THE DESINTEGRATION

In the previous article "Two Roads Diverging" I explained the inadequacy 
of Integral Theory as a theoretical approach, because of its incongruence 
with modern science. Here I'll try to show that Integral Theory can't do

civilization in a historical context, a problem very little mentioned on 
the pages of Integral World so far.

INTEGRAL REALISM FOR THE 1ST TIER READER - Henry Augustine

In this essay, I will consider the problem of universals and its major 
interpretations. I will proceed to see which interpretation is the case, 
and – because it is Plato's theory – I will offer an alternative way of 
explaining his metaphysics and epistemology because, as they stand, they 
may seem too “dogmatic” and too “lofty.” What I offer likewise may seem 
just as “grand” and “abstract” as Plato's beliefs, but I intend to support
my ideas with proper adherence to logic – though this logic may appear “metaphysical.”
