See update below:
Gregory Desilet has a new article at Integral World, originally written to appear in Dancing with Sophia: Integral Philosophy on the Verge. I don't know if its publication at Integral World will preclude its publication in the latter. An excerpt:
"This study argues instead that Wilber fails to formulate a science of
spirituality consistent with his claims for the potential of such a
science to relieve problems of verification and uncertainty. More
specifically it maintains that Wilber's claim to have ventured into the
realm of post-metaphysical thinking overreaches, that his
spiritual orientation remains grounded in classical metaphysics, and
that his belief in the post-metaphysical nature of his spirituality and
philosophy depends on questionable assumptions about both metaphysics
and postmodernism."
Recall this recent post
in the Rifkin thread about thermodynamics and irreversibility in terms
of Newton and Adam Smith, how they did not take it into account. Desilet
brings this up in terms of restricted and general economies. He shows
how Derrida's framing of opposition is in line with the latter and
thermodynamics, comparing it to Plotnitsky's QM complimentarity. And of
course contrasting it with Wilber's restricted economy which tends to
see opposition as a much stricter division between transcendence and
immanence. Now where have I heard this before?
