Breve historia de todas las cosas

Por Ken Wilber

Breve historia de todas las cosas es una excursión extraordinaria a través del Kosmos. En un viaje para cortar el aliento, desde el Big Bang hasta el mundo postmoderno en que vivimos, Ken Wilber analiza el universo y nuestro lugar en él –y nos brinda una crónica accesible y entretenida de cómo se entrelaza y funciona todo. Por el camino echa luz no sólo sobre las grandes preguntas cósmicas sino sobre diversos asuntos muy debatidos de nuestros días, como la ética ambiental, las relaciones de género, el multiculturalismo e incluso el sentido del Internet. En cada uno de estos terrenos hay patrones repetitivos que, si los examinamos con cuidado, pueden enseñarnos mucho acerca de los problemas de nuestro mundo, y en qué dirección debemos encaminarnos para que la transformación planetaria se vuelva realidad.

A Brief History of Everything is an extraordinary ride through the Kosmos. In a breathtaking trip from the Big Bang to the Postmodern world we inhabit, Ken Wilber examines the universe and our place in it—and comes up with an accessible and entertaining account of how it all fits together. Along the way he sheds light not only on the great cosmic questions but on various contentious issues of our day, such as environmental ethics, gender relations, multiculturalism, and even the meaning of the Internet. In each of these domains, there are recurring patterns, and by looking closely at them, we can learn much about the predicament of our world—and the direction we must take if global transformation is to become a reality.

The map of the future of philosophy

"How does a Seeker of knowledge download 2,000 plus years of human history in a few days of reading? Easy. Read or listen to Ken Wilber's brilliant synopsis neatly packaged into an elegant model of everything. The "Integral Model" will change the way you view your own life challenges and the world's enormous geopolitical problems forever."

Laugh out loud is not something one associates with a history of science, but Wilber had me rolling on the floor several times (the story of the science of the effects on gasses on humans still breaks me up months after having read it). Like Bronowski and Wade, the author's true affection for the many certifiable human beings who have done so much to advance man's knowledge is what makes this book so worthwhile. It too should be required reading as it would do more to encourage reading nonfiction than whole libraries of vapid "young readers" and "young adults" books.

Wilber is a contemporary philosopher who specializes in integrating important truths from both Eastern and Western cultures. This is the most accessible of his many books, explaining the evolution of human ideas from matter to life to mind. This is a challenging book, but well worth the effort.

I loved this book. Rebellious against religion for decades, yet attracted to spirit, I was delighted to find a synthesis of ancient thought and more modern ideas. I grant the book is a dry read,perhaps, but I fell in love with Ken Wilber.
