Anthropological Measurements of Philosophical Research December 30, 2025 H. Surina, N. V. Miroshkina
Ken Wilber's integral philosophy, particularly the AQAL (all quadrants, all levels) methodology, provides a comprehensive framework for understanding human nature, consciousness, culture, and evolution. This theoretical paper explores integral anthropology as an emerging branch of philosophical anthropology that addresses contemporary global challenges. The AQAL methodology integrates both left-hand paths (inner world and culture) and right-hand paths (external phenomena and systems) to prevent reductionism. Potential applications include intercultural interaction, education, personal development, ecological anthropology, organizational transformation, leadership, spiritual practices, digital anthropology, and healthcare. The holistic approach offers a comprehensive perspective on complex systems in science, society, and governance.
