5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to Gebser's thought, May 19, 2006

This review is from: Structures of Consciousness: The Genius of Jean Gebser: An Introduction and Critique (Paperback)

Jean Gebser is one of those very special theorists who is often cited in the works of others, but is not well known outside consciousness studies and metaphysical circles. Some philosophers like William Irwin Thompson and Ken Wilber have shown appreciation for his work; I believe Thompson has been more faithful to it, however.

Georg Feuerstein's work is an indispensable primer to Gebser. Gebser's seminal work, The Ever-Present Origin, is a daunting work, but for those who do not have access to it, or who do not have the time or patience to work through it, Feuerstein gives a terrific overview of the basic framework of his thought and concepts.

Highest recommendation!
