Critical integral realism

Balder provided an excerpt of his 2015 Integral Theory Conference paper, "integral in-dwelling," in this FB post. I provide an edited excerpt below. The paper can be found here.


"The 'meta' in meta-integral means not only beyond, but between. [...] We are always delimited and sustained by an overdetermined excess -- the ontological excess which is our milieu, an overflowing between-ness which always escapes final dialectical synthesis in our individual projects of self-determination (or integral theory-building). [...] Critical Integral Realism (or just Integral) is inherently multiple – it is a community of views, not a monolithic system."
