Prof Allan Leslie Combs – Jean Gebser and Owen Barfield in a Nutshell
Is the evolution of consciousness the key to our future?
In this webinar, Professor Combs will discuss these two 20thĀ century theorists of the evolution of consciousness. The first is best known for his āstructures of consciousnessāāarchaic, magic, mythical, mental, and integralāarticulated in psychological terms by the writings of Ken Wilber. Owen Barfield, a member of the OxfordĀ Inklings, is less well-known outside England. Both Barfield and Gebser, however, were poet philosophers who built much of their work on analyses of words and language. Their ideas have much in common. Nevertheless, they donāt seem to have known of each other.
