A Brief History of Everything operates on several levels. It’s the richest map I’ve yet found of the world we live in, and of men and women’s place in it. In the dialectic of progress, Wilber suggests, each stage of evolution transcends the limits of its predecessor, but simultaneously introduces new ones. This is a view that both dignifies and celebrates the ongoing struggle of any authentic search for a more conscious and complete life. “No epoch is finally privileged,” Wilber writes. “We are all tomorrow’s food. The process continues, and Spirit is found in the process itself, not in any particular epoch or time or place.”
