Evolution’s Purpose
An Integral Interpretation of
the Scientific Story of Our Origins
(SelectBooks 2012)

Evolution's Purpose presents a fresh and compelling view of the scientific facts of evolution, and shows how a deeper understanding of evolution itself can lead directly to a more evolved world.
As we come to understand how evolution progresses, this reveals evolution's purpose—to grow toward ever-widening realizations of beauty, truth, and goodness. And it is through the generation of these most intrinsic forms of value that evolution expresses its spiritual message. McIntosh argues that the purpose of evolution is not "intelligently designed" or otherwise externally controlled; rather, its purpose is being creatively and originally discerned through the choices of evolutionary creatures themselves. Without relying on any spiritual authorities, McIntosh demonstrates evolution's purposeful progression and shows how the scientific story of our origins is actually a profound and sacred teaching compatible with many forms of contemporary spirituality.
This website features the forthcoming book Evolution's Purpose (due in August 2012), as well as McIntosh's previous book, Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution. The site also includes McIntosh's blog, an extensive collection of free audio interviews, as well as DVD previews and reviews of his work.
