The Four Quadrants model developed by Ken Wilber is an exceptional map of knowledge and of the human experience. It gives us a language for understanding differing fields of knowledge and why they are approaching the problems that they are and in the way that they are.
The Four Quadrants model was developed by Ken Wilber in his book Sex, Ecology, Spirituality and for him it is a map of the Kosmos (that is to say, of the entirety of reality rather than the merely materialist external cosmos). Wilber uses the model to explain the interconnectedness of all things, to show the hierarchy of experience rising up to the higher spiritual experiences and also as a tool for developing the various elements of our life. 
In this episode however we focus in on where the model is most powerful in the context of this channel: the human element and the potential of this Four Quadrants model for helping us understand the intellectual landscape of the 21st century and for understanding the underlying ontological/epistemological groundings for the cultural conflicts we see today.
