In theory
The vague idea of integral altruism (int/a) is to explore and integrate new frameworks for altruism beyond the norms that currenlty drive the effective altruist (EA) movement. For example, leaning less on assumptions of classical utilitarianism, naive rationalism and techno-solutionism.
Integral altruism aims to both include and transcend EA, by integrating new perspectives. We're interested in tools that counterbalance the blindspots of EA, like systems thinking, wisdom, metarationality, and metamodernism. The goals are the same, to do the most good, but to also break free from the underlying explicit and implicit assumptions that permeate the current EA movement.
In practice
The plan is: 1) build a network, 2) collectively build a new framework for altruism, 3) use that framework to do good in an integral way.
We are currently mostly in stage (1). We're running online meetings and in-person meetings in London and Berlin. We're also now running a speaker series (see recordings of talks so far here!) We had our first 3-day summit in the UK in July, and are planning on a second in late 2025.
