Steve McIntosh is a developmental philosopher, cofounder and president of the Institute for Developmental Philosophy, a 501c3 nonprofit organization that "seeks to advance humanity’s understanding of noosphere evolution—the evolution of human history". In his presentation on YouTube, Steve examines "evolution's structure of emergence—the sequence of integrated levels that connects each of us to the beginning of the universe."


Steve starts by examining humanity's various attempts to chart this evolutionary structure, including Ken Wilber's ambitious 4-Quadrant model.

Writing in the emerging field of developmental philosophy, McIntosh has authored several books:
