Center for Integral Science  Toward the development of an integral science of experience

What is Integral Science? Science, in the sense of knowing fully, cannot be restricted to objective material, but must, as well, be open to other possibilities of awareness. --Franklin Merrell-Wolff (1994), p. 305-306. Science comes from the Latin word to know. Integral means to be whole, comprehensive, and complete. The term Integral Science, thus, refers to a comprehensive method and scope of knowledge. Like physical science, integral science appeals to direct experience in order to ascertain the truth about reality. Integral science, however, is not limited to sensory experiences and conceptual theories about them, but is open to the entire range of experience, and to all our capacities for apprehending truth.
