Integral Perspectivism
- any event is referred to as a "holon"
- any individual or sentient holon can look from 8 perspectives (the quadrants)
-
anything can be looked at from those 8 perspectives
- quadrivium
- each perspective or "zone" is not just a perspective but an action
- each bring forth or disclose the phenomena being apprehended
- perpectives and action co-arise or tetra-arise
-
address of holon = altitude + perspective
- altitude - degree of development
- perspective - perspective or quadrant
-
each zone requires 3 perspectives to locate it
- 1st (inside) or 3rd (outside) person
- quadrant
- perspective

Integral Mathematics
- 3-p x 1-p x 1p
-
Integral Post-Metaphysics
- replaces perceptions with perspectives
-
problem with Great Traditions: heavy with metaphysics
- focused in UL quadrant - phenomenological core
- couldn't withstand critiques of modernism / postmodernism
- failed to incorporate LL, cultural influence
- all perspectives are embedded in bodies and in cultures
- all knowledge is embedded in cultural or intersubjective dimensions
- the Great Chain
- important parital truths that need to be incorporated into bigger picture
- retired from the scene of serious intelligentsia in modern west
- monological nature of knowledge
- philosophy of consciousness - unaware of other 3 quadrants
-
can salvage profound truths of great traditions
- show that these are almost al UL
- can be honored and included in integral model
- great traditions floundered on the taboo of (inter) subjectivity
