Eye to Eye: The Quest for the New Paradigm offers a profound exploration of consciousness, mapping the evolution of human awareness from primal states to transcendental realms. Ken Wilber analyzes the interplay between science, philosophy, and spirituality, challenging reductionist views and advocating for an integral paradigm that harmonizes empirical, rational, and mystical insight. Wilber’s comprehensive model of human development navigates the spectrum of consciousness, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between temporary altered states and permanent structural transformations.
Readers will gain a nuanced understanding of the pre/trans fallacy, which often leads to the conflation of prerational and transrational states, and learn to appreciate the unique contributions of each stage of development. The book offers a balanced perspective, steering clear of scientism and reductionism, and instead presents a holistic approach to understanding the human condition. Through Wilber’s insightful analysis, readers are encouraged to integrate the wisdom of science, philosophy, and mystical traditions, fostering a deeper comprehension of consciousness and spiritual growth. Eye to Eye charts a more comprehensive view of existence, appealing to those seeking to expand their intellectual horizons and anyone committed to exploring the profound mysteries of consciousness and the quest for an integrated worldview.
Ken Wilber is the author of over twenty books. He is the founder of Integral Institute, a think-tank for studying integral theory and practice, with outreach through local and online communities such as Integral Education Network, Integral Training, and Integral Spiritual Center.
