Journal Article
THE MEANING OF PLANETARY CIVILIZATION: Integral Rational Spirituality and the Semiotic Universe
2013
Overview
This article composes a formal constellation of distinct, but overlapping, philosophical, methodological, and theoretical commitments enactive within the integrative world-space. This approach is proposed as a basis for exploring a pragmatic meta-worldview capable of carrying meaning making necessary for the formation of a healthy and enduring planetary civilization. The heart of this challenge lies in finding a coherent and culturally extensible contemporary integration of humanity's most persistent and foundational dualism-that of materialist and spiritualist views (with their respective ontic/realist vs. espistemic/idealist orientations) and the overarching meaningmaking cosmologies they respectively support. I contend that current integrative approaches are still early in the developmental process of forming such a view, and that while they move us ever closer to a viable nondual orientation, they are ultimately perceived to fall on one side or the other of the divide and therefore fail, as yet, to locate a meaningfully comprehensive stance capable of uniting all of humanity under one cosmological structure. In this article I seek to develop an integral pragmatist approach, which I refer to as integral semiotic realism, as a distinction supportive of resolving the cosmological divide. An integral cosmology is then proposed based on the post-metaphysical injunction prescribed by the semiotic enactment of the notion of Planetary Civilization through the signification of integral rational spirituality. This endeavor fits within and contributes to the development of Integral Post-Metaphysics, Integral Pluralism, and an integrative realism and strives to locate unity in their diversity.
