My new article was recently published in Integral Leadership Review: “Why Centrism Fails and How to Overcome Hyperpolarization.â From the article: “Among the many uses of integral philosophy, its most promising application is in the realm of politics. This is especially true of the hyperpolarized condition of politics in the U.S., where the growing intensity of Americaâs culture war now threatens the foundations of its democracy. Even though Donald Trump is no longer president, American culture and politics remain starkly and bitterly divided. Hyperpolarization, however, is not a problem that can be solved under Americaâs current cultural conditions. The only …

This is the second book in a series on metamodern thought, a work of popular philosophy that investigates the nature of psychological development and its political implications.

Inter-culturalism (or multiculturalism as it is commonly referred to) comes in different forms. You have multicultural state ideologies, which emphasize the importance of inÂclusion and diversity, claiming that the more diverse cultures you have, the better. You have corresponding anti-discrimination and pro-diversity poliÂcies in companies. You have âinter-faith dialogueâ movements, which seek to find common ground and mutual respect among believers of diffeÂrent faiths. You have âaffirmative actÂionâ programs, international childÂrenâs summer camps, the peace moveÂment, political correctness seeking to ban whatever words have become racist slursâand so forth. Among theoÂrists you find such thinkÂers as the philosopher Charles Taylor, …

Gemeinschaft Politics is closely linked to Democratization Politics. DemoÂcracy implies that there is a âdemosâ, a people that governs society. But for there to be a people, there must be a certain something to bind citizens together; a feeling of communal togetherness, a sense of fellowship, a reasÂon why we should belong to the same society to begin with. In short, if you donât have Gemeinschaft, youâll struggle to get a Gesellschaftâi.e. to get sound and sustainable institutions. The following is a slightly edited extract from Hanzi Freinachtâs book âNordic Ideology: A Metamodern Guide to Politics, Book Twoâ. This is …
