website Ken Wilber is generally regarded as the world's most influential integral thinker. He is the first psychologist-philosopher in history to have his Collected Works published while still alive (he's 53), and with his 22 books translated in up to 27 foreign languages, Mr. Wilber is perhaps the most highly translated academic writer in America. Credited with developing a unified field theory of consciousness -- a synthesis and interpretation of the world's great psychological, philosophical, and spiritual traditions -- Mr. Wilber is the most cogent and penetrating voice in the recent emergence of a uniquely American wisdom.
