Ken Wilber is an American philosopher widely regarded as one of the most translated academic authors in the U.S., who developed the Integral Approach — a “theory of everything” synthesizing insights from science, religion, philosophy, psychology, and art into a comprehensive map of human experience. His AQAL framework (All Quadrants, All Levels, All Lines, All States, All Types) has influenced fields from psychology and ecology to business and education. He founded the Integral Institute in 2000 and co-founded Integral Life in 2007.
