Integral Science LO30705

Replying to LO30702 --

I think the reference point for Goerner's work is Ken Wilbur. The
perspective is definitely one of holism, and working to integrate our
understanding of human behavior and the sciences across disciplines rather
than by dividing and conquering into siloed specialties as is the norm in
academia.

At's comment about healthcare is central to my exploration into Integral
Science. Physicians are actively seeking better ways to integrate human
understanding as it can be used to better support patient health and
wellbeing. We have far to go, but the goal is one that is gaining support
and so I remain hopeful.

kind regards,

Vana
