Jean Gebser’s Work & Evolving Integrality

The conversation around adult development and integral consciousness continues to expand and evolve. In this conversation with author and philosopher Jeremy Johnson we explore Jean Gebser’s notion of development, temporics, the unperspectival, the perspectival and the aperspectival, the move from sense-directed thinking to “senseful awareing”, the magic and the mythic and the invitation of this moment.
