In this recent talk to our Zoom group, Steve McIntosh discusses the value of philosophy for personal and social well-being. He also talks about his forthcoming philosophy book, as well as the emerging category of philosophy called “developmental philosophy.” Steve then goes over some of the recently published philosophy books he’s been reading.
The Developmental Politics Project’s mission is to advance the evolution of consciousness and culture in America. Our work focuses on overcoming the hyper-partisan polarization that threatens American democracy.
Steve McIntosh’s Zoom group is a monthly forum on the evolution of consciousness and culture. Steve and his guests focus on philosophy, politics, spirituality, and related topic of intellectual interest to the group. Through conversation and fellowship, we’re building a free cultural space for the exploration of integral consciousness.

Our latest recommendation is for Abortion Rights in the U.S. Although it may seem counterintuitive, the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Center may ultimately help secure a woman’s right to an abortion. By extinguishing Roe v. Wade’s constitutional abortion rights, the court has created the acute need for a national compromise, which can lead to landmark legislation on abortion, and other civil rights as well.
