Anthropology, Consciousness, and Spirituality: A Conversation with Ken Wilber
Anthropology of Consciousness September 1, 2001 Grant Jewell Rich
Ken Wilber, a highly influential author on consciousness whose work blends Eastern and Western approaches, discusses the scope of the consciousness problem and suggests anthropologists are well suited to contribute to the field. His work has shaped psychology, philosophy, religion, and anthropology, particularly through transpersonal psychology and his first book, The Spectrum of Consciousness, which is considered a starting point for transpersonal studies. Scholars such as Frances Vaughan and Daniel Goleman have praised his contributions.
