From Booklist
This is a sprawling synthesis of evolutionary and "systems" theory from the Presocratics to Piaget, permeated by the mysticism of Plotinus. Odd as it may seem for a book with more than 500 pages of text and 200 of notes, it suffers from a tendency to make unsubstantiated or inadequately referenced claims, especially in passing references to various feminisms and postmodernisms. But the reader can take this to be one aspect of the book's oral character: it reads like a composition dictated and transcribed. That is a strength as well as a weakness, since it imparts a lively and passionate tone to a text that could become simply tedious. The book's greatest strengths are its ambitious scope and its relentless attention to the materialist flattening of evolutionary and developmental theories in Western tradition. Wilber follows earlier devotees of Plotinus in insisting on a world composed not of parts and wholes but of wholes that are also parts and parts that are also wholes--wholes within wholes, remarkably similar to the "monads" of Anne Conway and Leibniz. Given a widespread hunger for spirituality and a widespread misunderstanding of materialist readings of development, even a flawed attempt to deepen developmental perspectives with developmental insights from mysticism is a step in the right direction.

Pressestimmen
"A timely and bold wake-up call for humanity."—San Francisco Chronicle
"Hugely informed, outspoken, and deeply illumined, Ken Wilber's penetrating insights uplevel the whole game of understanding human beings and human history."—Branches of Light
"The scope of the work is extraordinary. Only a handful of thinkers, such as Aurobindo in the East and Hegel in the West, have assembled such vast evolutionary visions. Yet Wilber's view is unique not only in providing a far-reaching vision but also in grounding that vision in contemporary research in fields such as cosmology, biology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, and ecology."—Roger Walsh, Resurgence
"Wilber possesses the rare combination of a deep, advanced spiritual practice with a sharp wit, brain power and scholarship to rival the finest Princeton Ph.D. . . . Sex, Ecology, Spirituality rewards the reader with a comprehensive, nondualistic, and sophisticated analysis of our world and consciousness."—Green Living
"Wilber's book is essential reading as a transplanetary survey of our problems and our possibilities. This is a book to live with for the next five years, and carry with you long into the next century."—David Boadella, Journal of Family Life
"Wilber is without a doubt one of the most significant thinkers of our time and brings a fresh understanding to our cultural situation and the prospects for an integral worldview in the next century. He displays a staggering erudition . . . a profound intuitive understanding and a highly developed analytical capacity. The combination is breathtaking. . . . Any thinker concerned with the big picture will find Wilber's work a gold-mine of insights which make compulsory reading for the 21st century."—Network: The Scientific and Medical Network Review
"Exhaustive exploration of the history of consciousness."—Parabola
"I think the most significant recent development in the field [of Transpersonal Psychology] is the publication of Ken Wilber's book, Sex, Ecology, Spirituality . I would encourage anyone interested in exploring the field in depth to read this volume."—Gnosis Magazine
"The twenty-first century literally has three choices: Aristotle, Nietzsche, or Ken Wilber. This book, written with remarkable scholarly breadth and depth, is exactly the medicine we need for the new century and the new millennium: not because it will make us feel good, which it surely might, but because it can jolt us awake."—Jack Crittenden, Ph.D., author of Beyond Individualism

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book is a strange mixture of oppositions; populist style and complex material, originality and repetition, astounding insight and blundering oversight. Wilber's insights into postmodernism, Freudian psychology and spiritual development are among the most original of the 20th century, but some authors he has obviously misread and others completely misunderstood, esp. Jung and various Western philosophers, and his claims to be a Buddhist are flatly contradicted by his holon theory, which is completely antithetical to the philosophical core of Buddhist teachings. His style, when dealing with complex material, is often very clear and precise, but the introduction and various individual paragraphs are full of misleading metaphors and populist literary techniques which give a sometimes sickly and pompous impression of Wilber. Certainly read this and appreciate it, but be careful not to be always taken in by his persuasive style, and remember to constantly question him.

I think the previous reviewer has belittled Wilber's scope by making out that this book is primarily about Buddhism. This book is nothing of the sort, and Wilber consciously widens the scope of any specific 'world religion' and he portrays a spiritual perspective of God which seems to me to be smack-bang in the middle of Eastern and Western philosophies. Many people would say that Buddhism and Western theism are oceans apart, but Wilber reveals here that there may only be One ocean. Some people might think Wilber is a little too pretentious or too bold with his thinking, but I feel he carries it off as well as anyone could. This book is not for everyone, but it's well worth delving into.

Thank you Ken, for reading all those boring books! Thank you translating all that private mumble into a light and easy language! Thank you for making it possible for me to participate in the conversation with so many of the great thinkers. The integral perspective is the obvious approach and I am little embarrassed finding out about my own self-centredness. I can also think of a lot of modern thinkers that ought to be a little embarrassed too. Ken Wilber is a crystal clear voice - now cutting through the post-modern narcissism of our time, inviting us to find out what we can agree upon. This in the most important book I ever read!

Wow. Perhaps the most profound book ever written.
If you're at all interested in the nature of our existence--past, present, and future--the nature of nature, and the essence of Reality itself, you can find no better book. Lesen Sie weiter...
