| | GEBSER: On concreteness, dialogue, knowledge, creativity, (cyber)culture, learning, wholeness,... |
 | | Gebser seems to be urging us to look into the inclusion of all layers or structures and not ending only in meditative state, but standing on the ground, surveying the world with our eyes and sharing or imparting concepts of a bigger and shared picture in order to expand our realms of being. |
 | | C.S. Peirce has introduced the index as the third kind of signs, and Benking has shown in (Knowmap 2001) that this index, when seen as part of an underlaying map or model, is able to make concrete concepts and impressions across langagues and cultures, at least in an overview or survey mode for knowing. |
 | | We feel that Gebser saw a way to expand our horizons, and this not by just going somewhere else but including all the earlier steps of evolution, instead of dismissing indispensable levels of human evolution. |
