This seminar is designed to be an exploration of the different epistemological frameworks in the context of the emerging Integral Paradigm of Knowledge. Different approaches to knowledge will be presented and discussed in depth in separate sessions, such as: Psychological, Philosophical, Linguistic, Sociological, Artistic and Scientific. The definition of the relation of these approaches to the faculties of consciousness is one of the major concerns of this seminar, which thus shall create a solid foundation for the emergence of the Integral Paradigm of Knowledge.
