Ken Wilber

Kenneth Earl Wilber Jr. (31 januari 1949) is een Amerikaans filosoof. Zijn werken focussen vooral op het maken van een "Intergrale theorie van het bewustzijn". Gevuld met inzichten uit de psychologie, mystiek, postmodernisme, empirische wetenschap en systeemtheorie, waarmee hij een samenhangend beeld maakt van het Heelal.

In zijn werken komt hij met ideeën als holons, AQAL, absolute en relatieve waarheid, de 'pre/trans misverstand', Integral post-metafysica en Wilber-Combs raamwerk. Verder geeft hij z'n commentaren op wetenschap en Darwinisme.
