Andrew Davis presented at Steve McIntosh’s monthly Zoom group, and the presentation is now available for replay. We invite you to join the discussion in the YouTube comments. This presentation aims to foster a discussion about the significance of philosophy and the role philosophers play in addressing interconnected thresholds of discourse, including “existential risk,” the “meaning crisis,” and “philosophical practice.” It highlights examples of ideas and thinkers whose philosophical positions fall short of offering effective solutions, thus presenting what can be considered philosophical failures. The discussion ties these challenges to the international movement known as “philosophical practice,” which seeks to apply

Version 1.0.0 Dear Friends of Developmental Philosophy, The works of Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881–1955) continue to inspire distinctive trajectories in theology, philosophy, and cosmology. Although contemporaries for a time, the two never had the opportunity to engage with each other’s visionary worldviews. Today, they are still largely studied in isolation. But what might emerge from a deeper integration of their ideas? How might their combined insights illuminate pressing concerns across science, religion, philosophy, and ecology? A groundbreaking new anthology, Whitehead and Teilhard: From Organism to Omega, addresses these very questions. This volume brings together leading scholars

Dear Friends of Developmental Philosophy, Last week’s Zoom group featured an intriguing talk by philosopher Steve McIntosh. The talk focused on post-postmodern culture’s emerging social norm of spiritual pluralism. Steve discussed the contemporary meta-categories of spirituality, as well as some of the current barriers to spiritual pluralism. He then considered the elements needed to create an inclusive “we-space” wherein competing spiritualities can form relationships of challenge and support. Steve’s spiritual pluralism talk, including our group’s discussion at the end, is now available to watch on YouTube. Watch here: https://youtu.be/Ug542bAke-M If you would like to join us for a continuation of this

Polarities: Navigating Life’s Inevitable Tensions Summary In life, leadership, and social discourse, we often assume that tensions between competing values, perspectives, or approaches must be solved by choosing the “right” side. However, some tensions are not problems to fix but polarities to manage. A polarity consists of two interdependent poles, each of which holds essential truths and benefits—but also potential … This post was originally published on Integral Life.
