Ready to unlock a new level of understanding? Today we journey into the world of integral philosophy with our esteemed guest, Steve McIntosh. We explore the evolution of consciousness and culture, and delve into the core idea that human problems can be traced back to consciousness itself. We traverse through the roots of integral philosophy in the 19th century German idealists and discuss its profound spiritual and political implications. Ever pondered how our world-views shape us and our society?  Steve and I examine the large-scale historical structures, values, and problems created by modernity. Could it be that the environmental destruction, nuclear proliferation, and gross inequality we face are a direct result of our world-views? We explore this thought-provoking question and also discuss the dignities and disasters associated with each worldview – modernity, traditionalism, and postmodernism. And it doesn't stop at understanding. We delve deep into the intriguing process of cultural evolution and integration. Discover how postmodern progressive values have over time become a significant cultural structure and how an integral philosophy could provide a way to synthesize these different world-views. Is it possible that this could be the beginning of a second enlightenment?  (0:00:01) - Exploring Integral Philosophy in Evolution (0:10:51) - Exploring Worldviews (0:21:57) - Developing Worldviews and Need for Understanding (0:32:11) - Cultural Evolution and Integration (0:48:33) - Progressivism's Challenges and Opportunities for Reconciliation The Book:   Developmental Politics: How America Can Grow Into a Better Version of Itself Developmental Politics Website: https://developmentalpolitics.org/ Twitter: @PoliticsDevelop Support the showAdditional Resources: Subscribe/Rate/Review on iTunes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HERE>>Enroll Here Find A Men's Circle Near You: https://mkpusa.org/mens-group With over 1000+ Men's Circles (Virtual + In-Person) worldwide, men are waiting to welcome you into a kind, supportive and safe brotherhood of men.
