Description:

Science comes from the Latin word to know. Integralmeans to be whole, comprehensive, and complete. The term Integral Science,thus, refers to a comprehensive method and scope of knowledge.Like physical science, integral science appeals to direct experience in order to ascertain the truth about reality. Integral science, however, is not limited to perceptual data and conceptual theories about them, but is open to the entire range of experience, and to all our capacities for apprehending truth. The objects studied by integral science are not limited to physical objects, but include the more subtle objects at deeper levels of being as well. Since a more profound and comprehensive revelation of truth comes from a more complete openness, the approach of integral science includes cultivation of both wisdom and compassion.The development of integral science depends upon collaborative interdisciplinary research, and draws from many diverse areas of human knowledge and experience.
