Brief History Of Everything, A

A Brief History of Everything is Ken Wilber's accessible and entertaining account of men and women's place in a universe of sex, soul and spirit. Wilber examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from matter to life to mind, including the higher stages of development where Spirit becomes conscious of itself. In each of these domains, there are recurring patterns, and by looking closely at them, we can learn much about the predicament of our world—and the direction we must take if "global transformation" is to become a reality.

Wilber offers a series of striking and original views on many topics of current interest and controversy, including gender relations, modern liberation movements, environmental ethics, and the conflict between this-worldly and other-worldly approaches to spirituality. The result is an extraordinary and exhilarating ride through the Kosmos in the company of one of the great thinkers of our time.
