Kenneth Earl Wilber Jr. (born January 31, 1949, Oklahoma City, USA) is an American philosopher . His philosophy focuses mainly on creating an "integral theory of consciousness" in which he tries to take the knowledge from diverse fields such as psychology, mysticism, postmodernism, empirical science and systems theory to show how he believes these fields come together to form a coherent picture of the Kosmos. In Kosmic Consciousness, Wilber states that he considers himself a storyteller and a mapmaker; his stories address universal questions and his maps integrate various perspectives of the cosmos.
Although he was at one time a major proponent of the transpersonal school of psychology, he has since disassociated himself from it.

In 1998, Wilber founded the Integral Institute, a think-tank for studying issues of science and society in an integral, or non-reductive, way. He has been a pioneer in the development of Integral psychology and Integral politics. He is a practicing Buddhist, and the insights of Madhyamika Buddhism, particularly as articulated in the philosophy of Nagarjuna, underpin his philosophical position and work.

In the 4 January 1997 issue of the German newspaper Die Welt, a reviewer called Wilber "the foremost thinker in the field of the evolution of consciousness." According to Frank Visser, he is "the most translated academic author in the United States." He is the first philosopher to have his Collected Works published while still alive.
