Ken Wilber's system of four quadrants is a workable concept for organizing worldviews, I think. However, the reduction from second person to first person plural ignores the essential quality of dialogue: When I say "you," I do not mean "we," nor do I mean "I" or "he." These are merely aspects of the "you". The main point is the change of perspective as such that creates the dialogue, the perception of another individual as itself and thus the second person view. I change my point of view to the other's point of view (at least partly) and come back to a new own point of view, and so on. Since this change underlies all the other quadrant views (you are only "he" when I am mainly I), it could be the middle quadrant or the big one that underlies/encompasses the others.
Our striving for knowledge is a declaration of love. By gaining wisdom we are loved in return. The most basic structure of consciousness and reality deciphered and a real solution to the problem of free will. Wholeness is absolute unity at a point. Whoever distinguishes, decides. By Claus Janew.
