Ken Wilber

Kenneth Earl Wilber, Jr. (b. January 31, 1949) is a contemporary writer and thinker whose primary focus is the development and exposition of an integral theory of consciousness. His first book, The Spectrum of Consciousness, sought to integrate a number of disparate fields, including metaphysics, psychology, spirituality, the natural sciences, the arts and humanities.

Wilber is not widely recognized by mainstream academia, as he has generally failed to publish in any recognized peer-reviewed journals, expect for two articles that have appeared in the Journal of Consciousness Studies.
