A Brief History of Everything presents Ken Wilber's accessible and entertaining account of men and women's place in a universe of sex, soul, and spirit. He examines the course of evolution as the unfolding manifestation of Spirit, from matter of life to mind, including the higher stages of spiritual development where Spirit becomes conscious of itself. Wilber offers striking and original views on many topics of continuing interest and controversy: gender wars, multiculturalism, ecology and environmental ethics among them.
