Politica integral. Boomeritis es el título de un libro reciente de Ken Wilber.
El autor ha querido darle al texto la forma de una novela. Es la primera novela de Wilber, aunque no el único libro en el que adopta formatos diferentes al ensayo. “Gracia y coraje” fue su primera incursión en géneros literarios más personales. El “Diario”, pese a su carácter ensayístico, fue una excelente ocasión para volver a acercarnos a un discurso más biográfico. Boomeritis, que estaba destinado a ser una crítica del postmodernismo y su influencia en la vida académica, acabó adoptando este curioso formato. Espiritualidad y política - Editorial Kairós. Edición a cargo de Cristóbal Cervantes «Sé tú el cambio que quieres ver en el mundo.»
-Mahatma Gandhi Esta obra reúne a autores de nivel internacional junto a líderes de opinión hispanoparlantes para ofrecer propuestas locales y globales, asumibles por todo el mundo, dirigidas a integrar en la política la dimensión espiritual así como a insuflar de sentido práctico a los movimientos espirituales de la actualidad. Se trata de aunar “el arte de vivir” (espiritualidad) con “el arte de convivir” (política), con un claro mensaje de pacifismo y no violencia. Nuestra relación con el dinero, la integración cultural, el desarrollo sostenible, la participación en la vida pública, el servicio a la comunidad, la crisis de valores, son algunos de los temas tratados con profundidad y con un enfoque totalmente práctico.

I have also thought the greatest risk for integral was that it would end up a "sub-section of the new-age, new-thought movement. " Concrete action and impact in the world would do much to alleviate that risk. Comment Link Monday, 20 February 2012 19:07 posted by Frank Marrero I also agree that this is a great article.

Also published at Integralworld.net See also my follow-up essay – Panarchy: The Integral Social Matrix Twelve years into the new millennium we bear witness to the ever more violent death throes of the current political and economic order. What will rise from the ashes will be the defining question of our time and will determine whether humanity will suffer through another century of war, death, destruction, and tyranny; or if the people will find it in themselves to transcend this emerging “New World Order,” to overcome it and institute something else in it’s place.
Something that honors the inherent rights of all men and women to live their lives in peace and freedom, and to reach their fullest potential. In the many years that I have read Ken Wilbur’s excellent insights into the human consciousness, into spiritual development, into culture, into the very human soul, I have been consistently blown away. Integral Politics. The Integral ‘Third Way’: A comprehensive view of Integral Politics and AQAL. Many have argued the importance of a ‘Third Way’ in politics.
Right from Bill Clinton to Tony Blair to all the sociologists and political ideologists, every one wants a ‘Third Way’ or a way that is better, higher and can last longer than the existing system. This way could be obtained by growing up to a new or higher level of politics or could be achieved through regression (going back to an older stage). Whatever be the case, a ‘Third Way’ has become the need of the hour. Integralism and Ken Wilber’s AQAL theory have shown a ‘Third Way’ to the current political scenario that rises the need to address global issues and want of collaboration between the First, Second and Third World countries.
This article will explain in depth the ‘Third Way’ prescribed by Wilber and the Integral theorists and why such a ‘Third Way’ is essential to transcend existing ideologies.
