This book proposes a new way of categorizing curricula in the
holistic educational traditional. This is an idea that goes back in
the Western tradition at least as far as Plato, and Lao Tzu in the
Eastern tradition. It is certainly present in Spinoza and
Schopenhauer. It is called a "holarchy". The idea of a holarchy
gives rise to Integrative Curriculum Theory, which, with major
modifications, draws on Ken Wilber's in his evolutionary model of
the development of consciousness at personal, cultural and
ontological realms. Integrative Curriculum Theory will: 1) Prove a
useful addition to the holistic repertoire of systematic and, above
all, humane terminologies and "technologies" for making and
evaluating specific curricula as well as for theorizing the
curriculum at a time when "scientistic," "technist" and
profit-driven views of education have commandeered the podium,
policy, and praxis and 2) address some areas of concern that with
certain holistic models of education, and 3) address some problems
in Wilber's integral model of psychological, cultural, and
spiritual evolution.
