FOUNDATIONS PRINCIPLES - AND INSPIRATIONAL RESO...

This book makes the point for a paradigm shift in politics based on an integral consciousness.
Why? Politics as we know it is outdated. It lacks the tools  the operating system and the
vision to address the challenges humanity is facing at the necessary speed and with the right
priorities today. It seems that its very operating system  consisting of core assumptions about
the world  motivational drivers  typical behaviors and instruments for decision-making and
problem-solving as they have evolved from the early days of European parliamentarism  is no
longer fit for purpose. While global mega-challenges call for cross-cutting cooperation and
collective intelligence  our party systems continue to reward silo thinking  zero-sum
competition and short-time  linear planning. So if politics as usual is outdated  what's the
alternative? In view of reinventing politics by upgrading its operating system towards integral
this book presents the most important inspirational thinkers that have started to identify and
describe the essence and implications of integral consciousness over the last hundred years. It
harvests insights and learnings proposed by ten thought leaders and approaches  from Sri
Aurobindo to Ken Wilber until Quantum Social Science. On this basis  it spells out the
foundations  resources and core principles of an integral paradigm of understanding - and doing
politics. Mapping out its added value as compared to the politics we know is a powerful
invitation to rediscover our own agency and to actively engage in putting integral politics
into practice.
