(Please forgive the typos I noticed when I re-read it just now.)<br/> <br/> Since then I've added Marion's re-interpretation of Aquinas's analogy of being, which re-interpretation builds on Heidegger's critique of Aquinas as enmeshing God in metaphysics by building an onto-theo-logy. Applying Gebser to this critique is what makes my work an Integral Postmetaphysical Phenomenology, and I think mine is the only one to exist so far. I'd better hurry up and get published! :)</p>

<p>Any and all critique is appreciated.</p>Saying Hellotag:integralpostmetaphysics.ning.com,2012-08-19:5301756:BlogPost:428582012-08-19T00:59:47.000ZDavid Millerhttp://integralpostmetaphysics.ning.com/profile/DavidMiller
<p>Hi, I'm a United Methodist clergyperson, currently serving as chaplain and instructor at a United Methodist college. I self-identify as a progressive Christian, largely because that is the most well known label referring to post-traditional Christianity. I also might describe myself around campus as a Christian, but not exclusively. Less frequently, and primarily to those who would already understand what I mean or to those who might almost understand, I echo Derrida's claim that I could…</p>
<p>Hi, I'm a United Methodist clergyperson, currently serving as chaplain and instructor at a United Methodist college. I self-identify as a progressive Christian, largely because that is the most well known label referring to post-traditional Christianity. I also might describe myself around campus as a Christian, but not exclusively. Less frequently, and primarily to those who would already understand what I mean or to those who might almost understand, I echo Derrida's claim that I could rightly be called an atheist.<br/> <br/> I have a blog entitled "<a href="http://divinesalve.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Divine Salve</a>" where I post very infrequently, and I've been picked up in the past week as a columnist at <a href="http://www.ProgressiveChristianity.org" target="_blank">ProgressiveChristianity.org</a>. Who knows whether the larger audience will prompt me to blog more often.<br/> <br/> I'm also a grad student in the University of Louisville's Interdisciplinary Humanities Ph.D. program. I've concentrated on phenomenology and hermeneutics. I just passed my last comp in April, and my dissertation will deal with phenomenologist/theologian Jean-Luc Marion. His is a postmetaphysical phenomenology/theology, and I hope augment/critique him with Gebser's integral phenomenology.</p>

<p>I have loved developmental theories since seminary, reading Fowler, Kohlberg, Maslow, and Piaget. I discovered Wilber in the early aughts, when I read <em>A Theory of Everything</em> and quickly thereafter <em>Integral Psychology</em> and, because of Wilber's connection to it, <em>Spiral Dynamics</em>. I've read a few of Wilber's other books, but I've kept up with the broad thrust of his thought online and see lots of great places to go with Wilber-5's Integral Postmetaphysics.</p>

<p>I've read through several of the threads here and hope to start interacting. Maybe it will help me sharpen my thoughts for my dissertation.</p>
