In clear and lively prose, Bald Ambition summarizes and analyzes Ken Wilber's arguments for his theory of everything, and investigates his scholarly sources. Areas that Wilber integrates into his theory, such as psychology, mysticism, philosophy, methodology, social evolution, Western history, postmodernism, and systems theory are examined. In addition, an original argument explaining the relationship between psychology and belief is described, and a penetrating analysis of the connections between Ken Wilber's psychology and beliefs is offered as an illustration of Meyerhoff's theory.
