I've long believed that the work of philosopher Ken Wilber provides the field of holistic education with a comprehensive, sophisticated intellectual foundation, which we have not adequately explored. Wilber himself has written very little specifically on education, and education theorists have not yet adapted his ideas in any significant way. But that is starting to change. One of my correspondents, R. Michael Fisher, has been working with Wilber's ideas for a quarter century, and he recently completed a bibliography that lists all recent references to Wilber's work in the education literature. It is now posted here, at www.pathsoflearning.net. Go to the "Resources" section, then click on "Writing by Other Authors in Holistic Education," where you'll find it at the end of a short list of articles.
I hope this paper will stimulate new scholarship on the philosophical foundations of holistic education, specifically on the relevance of Wilber's ideas. Please write to me (or directly to Michael) if you are interested in this topic or would like to comment.
