Meta Integral Theories: Integral Theory, Critical Realism, and Complex Thought
Three Meta Integral Theories:
- Integral Theory (Ken Wilber)
- Critical Realism (Roy Bhaskar)
- Complex Thought (Edgar Morin)
Please see review papers for each of the theory in the references below.
These are the best meta theories in my opinion.
Ken Wiber, Roy Bhaskar, and Edgar Morin have created ideas worth reading about.
