description A new model of a critical theory that is integral is introduced. It adds a seventhstage to a six-stage model of critical theory. Building on the model’s predecessors, fromKant, Hegel, and Marx to Habermas and Wilber, this proposal is a three-pronged modelof material, socio-political, and spiritual critique of the present age. Each dimension isnon-reducible to the other. The current model echoes the attempts to bridge social andexistential perspectives by early Marcuse and Sartre, and the author’s prior work that didthis for Habermas and Kierkegaard. This model of an integral critical theory introduces aself-transformational axis, the integer or witness-self, complementing transversally thevertical stages and horizontal states of consciousness.
