[edit] Integral Thought?

When I removed the Integral Thought category, it was readded with the comment: "Griffiths writings constitute integral thought."

I don't believe that this is true, and would like to see a source that says so, in the article or on the talkpage. --Bondego 19:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Apologies for the blunt statement in the summary and having no mention of integral thought in the article. I should have said, some of Griffiths writings express integral thought. I will add a reference to an interview of Griffiths which makes his position more clear. --Blainster 21:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. As far as I know, Bede didn't identify himself with the Integral movement, and the Integral movement doesn't claim him as one of their representatives. The question to ask is then how broad do we define the Integral Thought category? If Bede is included, many other figures who are marginal to the modern Integral movement could also be included. --Bondego 18:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
