The Marriage of Sense and Soul : Integrating Science and Religion

The Marriage of Sense and Soul, a cognizant address of how to mend the rift between science and religion, is further proof that Ken Wilber is one of the most knowledgeable and clear-thinking individuals writing today. Like an experienced scout, Wilber has blazed a careful trail through the dense history surrounding religion and science, from the basic tenets of all religion and the foundations of science to the fundamental nature of our postmodern society: the differentiation of art, morals, and science. It is this capacity to differentiate that pits science and religion against one another, yet it ironically proves to be the door to a reconciliation between the camps. Wilber proposes that, without requiring drastic modification of the way either party perceives itself, science and religion can coexist within a single framework, each playing a different role, yet married in our quest to understand the universe. In the process, Wilber examines the work of many of the pivotal scientific discoveries since the Enlightenment, as well as some of the most influential thinkers of all time. Enough is here to perplex a tenured historian, yet his course is so clearly charted that the reader comes away from The Marriage of Sense and Soul not with confusion, but a feeling of completing a momentous and insightful journey. --Brian Patterson

One Taste : The Journals of Ken Wilber, 1997

Amazon.com
Okay, Ken Wilber fans, you've waited long enough. The intensely private potentate of the integral path has broken his silence and published a year's worth of journal notes. Pull up a chair. You've entered the living room of one of the most intriguing spiritual theorists on the planet. He'll tell you a little about his work schedule, friendships with publishers, artists, and intellectuals, and you'll talk late into the night about bringing together the best parts of all the world's wisdom traditions. Hold on tight, though, because the conversational pace can be dizzying, bouncing from Nagarjuna to Plotinus, Derrida to Nagel, feminism to Zen, psychotherapy to vipassana. And this isn't just superficial soul-babble. Give it a while to sink in. Take a sip of wine. Move on to more expansive talk of higher states of being. Wilber will describe his own meditative experiences and how they relate to his revision of the Great Chain of Being. As daylight breaks, you'll gaze into the early twilight, wondering how you failed to notice all those hidden dimensions within and beyond an otherwise two-dimensional world. --Brian Bruya

Grace and Grit

The compelling story of the five-year journey of Ken Wilber (author of The Spectrum of Consciousness and Up from Eden) and his wife Treya through marriage, illness, and, finally, Treya's death. Ken's brilliant and wide-ranging commentary is combined with Treya's journals to create an inspiring portrait of healing, suffering, wholeness and harmony.

The Eye of Spirit : An Integral Vision for a World Gone Slightly Mad

What would a truly integral culture look like, a culture that included body, mind, soul, and spirit? In this new and groundbreaking book, Ken Wilber uses his widely acknowledged "spectrum of consciousness" model to completely rewrite our approach to such important fields as psychology, spirituality, anthropology, cultural studies, art and literary theory, ecology, feminism, and planetary transformation. What would each of those fields look like if we wholeheartedly accepted the existence of not just body and mind but also soul and spirit? Wilber weaves these various fragments together into a coherent and compelling vision for the modern and postmodern world.

A Brief History of Everything

This account of men and women's place in a universe of sex and gender, self and society, spirit and soul is written in question-and-answer format, making it both readable and accessible.

One of the great thinkers of our time brings together sex and gender issues, ecological wisdom, and spirituality into a coherent vision for our times. In a tour de force of scholarship and vision, Ken Wilbur traces the course of evolution from matter to life to mind, answering the critical question: Can spiritual concerns be integrated with the modern world?

Up from Eden : A Transpersonal View of Human Evolution

A reader , June 16, 1996
Excellent source for transpersonal view of mankind.
This is an excellent text to give one an overview of the development and evolution of humanity from the transpersonal point of view. Wilber draws heavily on existentialist Becker as well as the master of myth, J. Campbell. He presents his thesis in a comprehensive and far reaching flavor, bringing some sense into the evolution of the mystical as well as the concrete. I highly recommend this text for anyone interested in placing life in an inclusive theory.
