Chapter 2: The Possibility

1. The description of these five stages is based primarily on Robert Kegan’s framing, but it also draws from the work of other developmental psychologists, including Jean Piaget, Erik Erikson, Lawrence Kohlberg, Carol Gilligan, and Stanley Greenspan, to bring in a stronger focus on the moral and emotional dimensions. I am particularly indebted to Larry Daloz and Sharon Parks, who worked with Kegan at Harvard for some years, for their assistance in interpreting and elaborating the Kegan categories. In addition to Kegan’s work, the descriptions of the third and fourth orders draw on Eleanor Drago-Severson, Becoming Adult Learners: Principles and Practices for Effective Development (New York: Teachers College Press, 2004), 23–32. Discussion of the fifth order draws in part on Laurent A. Parks Daloz, “Transformative Learning for Bioregional Citizenship,” in Learning toward an Ecological Consciousness: Selected Transformative Practices, ed. Edmund O’Sullivan and Marilyn M. Taylor (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2004).

Ray and Anderson make the link between the civil rights movement and a widespread cultural awakening. Their insight triggered the realization for me that something far more profound is at work than simply a shift in values. In subsequent personal discussions Ray has affirmed his support for the thesis that what his research has uncovered is in fact evidence of a step to a new level of human consciousness that has profound implications.

2. I use gatherer-hunter rather than the more familiar hunter-gatherer at the suggestion of Riane Eisler, who points out that in most of these societies the basic subsistence depended more on gathering than hunting. The conventional emphasis on hunting reflects a bias toward presenting men, who generally led the hunt, as the primary providers and downplaying the role of women, who more often had the responsibility for gathering.
