In Excerpt A from volume 2 of the Kosmos Trilogy, “An Integral Age at the Leading Edge,” we noted the fact that, in today’s world, less than 2% of the population is at any stage or wave of consciousness that could be called “integral” in any meaningful sense. If the general waves of development are pictured as traditional, modern, postmodern, and integral (with yet higher waves possible), research suggests that somewhere around 25% of the population is traditional, 40% is modern, 20% postmodern, and only 2% or so is at integral or higher.
However, recent research has also indicated that there is a growing movement at the leading edge—in the cultural elite, in thought leaders, in the media, arts, and academia in general—where substantial portions of the postmodern population are starting to move into integral waves of awareness. In the social sciences and humanities, for example, Jeffrey Alexander, arguably America’s most gifted sociologist, has identified three major post-WWII phases: functionalism (modernist), micro-sociology (postmodern pluralist), and a new and third phrase: “an age of synthesis,”an integral age at the leading edge, just now beginning.
