Integral ecologies

Posted in Philosophy, tagged , on May 5, 2017 | 2 Comments »

I’m happy to see that The Variety of Integral Ecologies: Nature, Culture, and Knowledge in the Planetary Era, an anthology co-edited by Sam Mickey, Sean Kelly, and Adam Robbert, has finally been published by SUNY Press. It is, to my knowledge, the first scholarly anthology that both assesses the Integral Ecology developed by Sean Esbjorn-Hargens and Michael Zimmerman […]

Integral Ecology week 7

Posted in Philosophy on July 19, 2011 | 1 Comment »

The Integral Ecology reading group seems to have lost some of its momentum over the last 3-4 weeks (as witness the minimal responses to the last two posts), but Nick, the “staunch Wilberian” of the group ;-), has now picked things up with his overview of Chapter 8 at the Integral Ecology Center blog. (Hmm… […]

Ecological selves (Integral Ecology week 6)

Posted in Philosophy, tagged , , , , , on July 9, 2011 | 9 Comments »

After a brief hiatus, the Integral Ecology reading group is back in action here. (Antonio at Mediacology combined two chapters – 5 and 6 – in his post of two weeks ago, and I’m running a little late with this one.) What follows is my summary and response to Chapter 7, “Ecological Selves: The Who […]

Integral Ecology – week 3 (part 2)

Posted in Philosophy, tagged , , on June 16, 2011 | 7 Comments »

This continues from the previous post, where I discussed chapter 3 of Integral Ecology. Together these posts make up my summary overviews for Week 3 of the reading group. What follows is less a summary than a response to chapter 4, but I think it covers most of the key concepts in the chapter.   […]

Posted in Eco-theory, Philosophy, tagged , , , , , on June 16, 2011 | 2 Comments »

The Integral Ecology reading group moves here this week, picking up the baton from Adam and Sam at Knowledge Ecology. (And see Michael’s summary at Archive Fire.) This week we’re focusing on chapters 3 (“A Developing Kosmos”) and 4 (“Developing Interiors”). Following a short summative preamble, this post examines Chapter 3. Its follow-up will examine […]

Integral Ecology discussion has begun

Wilber’s post-metaphysical turn

Posted in Philosophy, Process-relational thought, Spirit matter, tagged , , , , , on May 17, 2011 | 4 Comments »

Working through the last decade or so of Wilberian integral theory (which I’m doing in preparation for the upcoming group reading of Integral Ecology) is no small challenge. Ken Wilber’s been an incredibly prolific writer, publishing scores of books over the last 15 years in addition to scattered shorter materials of various kinds, including new […]

Eco-onto-politics 3: Wilber, Integralism, & Whitehead

Posted in Philosophy, Process-relational thought, Spirit matter, tagged , , , , , , , on April 16, 2011 | 5 Comments »

This post continues from the previous in this series, which looked at integral ecophilosopher Sean Esbjorn-Hargens’s writing on the ontology of climate change. Here I examine the relationship between leading integral theorist Ken Wilber, integralist Esbjorn-Hargens, and process philosopher Alfred North Whitehead. It’s a little difficult to separate Wilber’s and Esbjorn-Hargens’s views on Whitehead. I […]

Eco-onto-politics 2: Integralism & climate change

This is the second post in a series on the intersections between ecology, ontology, and politics. (The first reviewed Andrew Pickering’s The Cybernetic Brain.) Here I focus on integral ecologist Sean Esbjörn–Hargens‘s article An Ontology of Climate Change: Integral Pluralism and the Enactment of Multiple Objects. This post can also serve as a prelude to […]

Ecology-ontology-politics (1): Pickering’s cyborgs

Posted in Philosophy, Process-relational thought, Science & society, tagged , , , , , , on April 4, 2011 | 9 Comments »

Ecology, ontology, politics: These three terms are among the most common themes of this blog, but their intersections deserve a more sustained exploration. This is the first of a series of posts that will do that through critical discussion of various readings and concepts. This first post reviews and reflects on some of the questions […]

Solaristics, ETs, and the ontology of climate trauma

As we prepare for another Climate Change Conference of the Parties, and all the activist organizing around it, it’s important for us to come to terms with exactly what we are dealing with. This post approaches climate change from a somewhat oblique, exo-planetary perspective. I have given a few talks recently in which I propose […]

Why three ecologies?

Posted in Eco-theory, Media ecology, Process-relational thought, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on January 15, 2021 | 5 Comments »

French philosopher and psychoanalyst Félix Guattari, in his The Three Ecologies, was the first to articulate the threefold nature of ecology, but he failed to provide a clear articulation of why there should be three and only three ecologies — not two, not one, not four or more. What is the ontological justification for this […]
