[Ken Wilber’s breadth and its importance via Love of All Wisdom by
Amod Lele on 2/5/12
While I think Hegel was more methodologically
sophisticated than Wilber, there is a lot missing from Hegel’s synthesis.
Science, especially, has changed a lot, making Hegel’s philosophy of nature difficult
to accept; so too, Hegel’s thought has no room for the shining achievement of the 20th century, namely
feminism and the liberation of women. And while Hegel at least attempted to
include Asian philosophies in his synthesis, in a way that few had before, they
were stuck at the earliest and lowest level of his
philosophy, making Hegel “strong with respect to time and weak with respect to
space”. All of these vast gaps in Hegel’s thought – science, feminism, Asian
philosophy – Wilber has tried hard to give a central place in his thought. His
attempted synthesis is the widest one I know of – Wilber gives us some vision
of what a unified synthesis now could look like.]

Like Hegel, Sri Aurobindo’s insights have travelled far
and wide. Many of his concepts have become so common that no one bothers to
notice the original source or credit him. That The Mother & Sri Aurobindo,
jointly, have inaugurated the Integral perspective is an indisputable fact. No theoretical
formulation can surpass that either on ontological grounds or in their practical
translation. Our effort to make them “interesting, constructive and convincing,”
however, must continue. [TNM55]
