In this presentation, Steve McIntosh explores evolution’s structure of emergence—the sequence of integrated levels linking humanity to the cosmos. He reviews major developmental frameworks and offers an appreciative critique of Ken Wilber’s 4-Quadrant model.

We’re co-convening a spiritual philosophy conference on the theme “The Philosophical Renewal of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness”—four days of presentations, dialogue, fellowship, and music. Confirmed speakers: Iain McGilchrist, Ilia Delio, John Haught, Stephen Blackwood, Steve McIntosh, Andrew M. Davis, Robert Nicastro, Robert Lawrence Kuhn, Sarah Coakley, and David Bentley Hart.

In this first critique of integral philosophy, Steve McIntosh highlights developmental psychology’s blind spots. He explains that it often confuses personal consciousness with collective culture, arguing that individual development shouldn’t be equated with the worldview shaping cultural identity.

Professor Loury is a courageous thought leader who transcends left and right. In this podcast, Glenn and Steve discuss developmental politics and the work of the Institute for Cultural Evolution.

We are delighted to announce that the full video dialogue between world-renowned philosopher Iain McGilchrist and developmental philosopher Steve McIntosh is now available on YouTube. The dialogue was hosted by process philosopher Andrew M. Davis, and produced by the Center for Process Studies.

Our evolving policy platform offers “win-win-win” solutions that integrate the values of all three major American worldviews: progressive, modern, and traditional. This integrative approach, derived from stakeholder capitalism, builds agreement and increases the “size of the pie.”

Join our growing community for monthly Zoom discussions on integral philosophy.

The Institute for Developmental Philosophy is a nonprofit organization that seeks to advance humanity’s understanding of noosphere evolution. We’re working to renew our society’s commitment to truth, beauty, and goodness. The Institute’s mission is to help bring about a new level of cultural synthesis that can revive our collective solidarity.
