Kenneth Earl "Ken" Wilber Jr. (b. January 31, 1949, Oklahoma City, U.S.), is an American author who writes on integral theory, psychology, philosophy, mysticism, ecology, and the New Age. His work formulates what he calls an "integral theory of consciousness." He is a leading proponent of the integral movement and founded the Integral Institute in 1998. Wilber's work has been largely ignored by the academic mainstream. He has published just two articles in one peer-reviewed academic journal (the Journal of Consciousness Studies), and he is rarely mentioned in other peer-reviewed academic journals. While Wilber has practiced Buddhist meditation methods, and the beliefs of Madhyamika Buddhism, particularly as articulated in the philosophy of Nagarjuna, underpin his work, Wilber does not self-identify as a Buddhist.
