Kurt Johnson, the author of The Coming Interspiritual Age, posted the following on the FB IPS forum:

Steering Toward the Omega Point: A Roundtable Discussion of Altruis..., which is a discussion of David Sloan Wilson's new book, Does Altruism Exist?

It features commentaries by Ken Wilber, Zak Stein, Mike Morrell, David Korten, and others.

From the intro:

Does Altruism Exist? Culture, Genes, and the Welfare of Others (hereafter DAE), uses modern evolutionary theory as a “navigational guide” to answer a question that has been posed for centuries. It also offers a “post-resolution” account of multilevel selection theory, which has been controversial among evolutionary theorists for over half a century. This roundtable provides a discussion of DAE by commentators who have diverse backgrounds but share two things in common: 1) They are thoroughly accepting and informed about science; and 2) they are each in their own way “spiritual”.

What paths lie ahead for religion and spirituality in the 21st Century? How might the insights of modernity and post-modernity impact and inform humanity's ancient wisdom traditions? How are we to enact, together, new spiritual visions – independently, or within our respective traditions – that can respond adequately to the challenges of our times?

This group is for anyone interested in exploring these questions and tracing out the horizons of an integral post-metaphysical spirituality.
