I was referred to this book on the topic. I'm enamored of the term syntegral as an alternative to integral. So I was looking over the referenced text and found this
from chapter 14, which I like:
"[T]he French-Jewish philosopher Jacques Derrida is an atheist syntheist. [...]
There are quite simply no objectively valid hierarchies between people.
[...] Hierarchies blossom in the worlds of transcendental
metaphysicists. It is only through breaking with transcendentalisation
and introducing an immanent metaphysics that we can achieve a genuinely
egalitarian society. Syntheism is radical egalitarianism par
excellence."
And this from the glossary:
"Radical
atheism the idea that classical atheism taken to its ultimate
conclusion dialectically transforms into syntheism. The idea is
investigated by philosophers such as Jacques Derrida, Simon Critchley
and Martin Hägglund, before Bard & Söderqvist delve even deeper into
it."
Btw,
we had an in-depth discussion with Gregory Desilet at Ning IPS on this
very topic. He calls his own version synergist spirituality. Also referenced in that thread is Desilet's Integral World article "Radical atheism and new spirituality."
