Hi TOK List,
  Attached is a Preface to a book that attempts a new approach to philosophy. It shares some key features of the Unified Framework. One of the key features is that it locates one of the central, fundamental problems that we face in the 21st Century is a clear system of understanding that reconciles what Ken Wilber calls the "materialist flatland" view of science with human experience and meaning making. I have highlighted the relevant sections that capture this fact.
  To connect this issue to the paper Joe and I just published, one big change is that we need to stop thinking about science in terms of its reductive physical foundations and thinking about it in terms of mapping and modeling behavior across the levels and dimensions of complexity as framed by the ToK/PTB (see here<https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/theory-knowledge/201911/scientifically-say-yes-behavior-no-physicalism>).

Best,
Gregg
