Studies - Mark Edwards

Integral metatheory does not currently employ any formal research method for 
developing or evaluating its frameworks, propositions and knowledge claims. As 
is the case with almost all other metatheory, Ken Wilber's AQAL framework has

insight and traditional scholarship. The AQAL conceptual lenses, their 
relationships and the AQAL metatheoretical system, which they constitute, are 
the result one man's analysis of extant scientific and cultural knowledge. It 
may be expert analysis that is based on traditional methods of scholarship, 
but that informal approach needs to be augmented and evaluated by more 
rigorous and transparent methods of research. More importantly, those methods 
need to be developed and applied by communities of researchers, practitioners 
and scholars who are aware of, and competent in, the methods and techniques of 
metatheorising.
