For over 50 years California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) has been a leader in transformative integral education. Integral studies, in the founding of CIIS, encapsulated a contemporary academic approach to a spiritual mission. Institutions and communities that affirm a spiritual mission often have difficulty expressing the meaning of spiritual as distinct from-though related to-religion or social justice.
Join CIIS Haridas Chaudhuri Professor of Indian Philosophies and Cultures, Debashish Banerji, and CIIS President Emeritus and Professor Emeritus in Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness, Robert McDermott, for an illuminating discussion on the multitude of meanings of integral, as seen and applied to the spiritual mission in the history and future of CIIS.
Debashish and Robert explore the spiritual roots of the term integral as well as its cultural and ethical implications. Drawing upon their decades of experience, they examine the difference between spirituality pursued in academia and in spiritual organizations such as ashramas and monasteries, and share insights on the relationship between spirituality, religion, and social justice.
