Chapter: a. The Middle Way and the Integration Process

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.43672

Blurb:

Integration reduces projection, not by reaching ‘reality’, but by dialectically reducing the social and psychological conflict that results from projective repression of alternatives. Conflicts are resolved by reframing the assumptions that create them – an integrative process that applies the Middle Way, avoiding opposing absolutes with scepticism, provisionality, incrementality and agnosticism.
