Integral Philosophy is the primary philosophical orientation at Integral Arts Academy. Integral Philosophy aims to be as inclusive as possible, so it is compatible with a wide variety of philosophical systems and it provides a sort of metaphilosophy, which allows many different schools of thought to be situated with respect to each other. This makes it particularly good as a primary philosophical "landing page."

Ken Wilber's Integral Theory is the leading approach in our time so we use it here as our primary framework. However, Integral Philosophy is evolving, and there are other notable thinkers with a slightly different views. So we allow for some flexibility in how we approach this topic. Our approach is not "set in stone."
