About the Reflections on and Clarifications of the 1st Biennial Integral Theory Conference

As founders and organizers of the 1st Integral Theory Conference eel moved to respond to Frank Visser's latest posting (“Assessing Integral Theory”). We do this in the spirit of dialogue and out of a sense that his characterization of our event was misleading and inaccurate in important ways.

The conference's Call for Papers was open and disseminated widely. It was sent to all the major alternative schools, including those which house significant numbers of Wilber's critics (e.g., CIIS in San Francisco).


It was sent out through all available Integral email lists and groups and it was posted, by direct request by us, on Visser's.

Furthermore, we personally contacted some of the persons we believe to be among the more articulate of Wilber's critics.

These include Sean Kelly, Steve McIntosh, Bonnita Roy, and Mark Edwards (all of whom are attending and presenting) and Jorge Ferrer and Steven Taylor (both of whom declined).

Frame Work of the Commerce

the establishment of: peer reviewed journals (JITP and Integral Review);
accredited graduate level academic programs (5 programs at JFKU, 2 at Fielding Graduate University, and 1 at CIIS—not to mention the many individual academics in various institutions teaching courses based in full or part on the AQAL model);

a biennial academic conference – the first of which is a sold-out success with 100 presenters, 12 panels, 20 poster presentations, and almost 500 attendees (including presenters) from over 20 countries; and

An academic research center, the Integral Research Center, which is supporting the global community of integral scholar-practitioners engaged in research based on Integral Methodological Pluralism.

Soon the IRC website will list nearly a dozen research projects occurring all over the world using Integral Theory as its framework.
