Foundations, Principles — an Inspirational Resources of Integral Politics

Více o knize

This book advocates for a paradigm shift in politics towards an integral consciousness, arguing that current political systems are outdated and ill-equipped to tackle contemporary global challenges. The existing political framework, rooted in early European parliamentarism, lacks the necessary tools and vision for effective decision-making and problem-solving. As global issues demand cross-cutting cooperation and collective intelligence, traditional party systems promote silo thinking and short-term competition. The book explores alternatives by proposing an upgraded political operating system centered on integral consciousness. It highlights influential thinkers from the past century, such as Sri Aurobindo and Ken Wilber, who have contributed to this integral perspective. By synthesizing insights from ten thought leaders and approaches, the book lays out the foundations and core principles of an integral understanding of politics. It emphasizes the added value of this approach compared to conventional politics, encouraging readers to rediscover their own agency and actively participate in implementing integral politics. This powerful invitation aims to inspire a more collaborative and effective political landscape.
