WILBER FRIENDS MAILING LIST

Dear Wilber Friends,

This month a couple of new contributions have been posted in the Reading
Room.

The critical nature of some of these essays might require some explanation,
or should I say "justification"? Over the years "The World of Ken Wilber"
has been the only place on the web for large scale and independent
conceptual reflections on major integral concepts, such as: holarchy,
quadrants, holons, states, integral politics, etcetera.

I have allways taken it to be an obvious principle, that healthy spiritual
and intellectual growth need a climate in which difference of opinion is
welcomed encouraged and even welcomed.

For example, some recent essays focus on the nature and content of the Upper
Right quadrant. Does it cover only neurology, matter, or subtle matter, or
human behavior as such, or perhaps Form in all its manifestations? -- or all
of the above? Does it matter? Some think it does. Read on!

In this spirit, I offer you the following:

03/22/04: The essay "The Depth of the Exteriors 3: Cooley and Mead and the
Social Behaviourist View of Development in the Exterior Quadrants" by Mark
Edwards has been added to the Reading Room.

03/06/04: A German translation by HaPe Lin of Wilber's essay "Death, rebirth
and meditation" has been posted in the German Section.

03/06/04: The essay "The Depth of the Exteriors 2: Piaget, Vygotsky, Harre
and the Social Mediation of Development" by  Mark Edwards has been added to
the Reading Room.

02/29/04: A brief reply called "Some Thoughts on the States Thing" by Mark
Edwards to the first "Critic's Circle" posting on Integral Naked discussing
one of his papers has been posted in the Reading Room.

02/28/04: The essay "Left, Right or just plain wrong? - Politics in the
integral movement" by Ray Harris has been added to the Reading Room.
