Editorial Board Member, Integration Journal

Matthew David Segall, PhD, is a transdisciplinary philosopher and Associate Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program at California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco. His work bridges process-relational metaphysics with contemporary science and spirituality, drawing inspiration from thinkers such as Whitehead, Schelling, Goethe, and Rudolf Steiner. Segall’s scholarship challenges dualistic and mechanistic paradigms and invites a renewed integration between the natural sciences and humanities. Segall is the author of Crossing the Threshold: Etheric Imagination in the Post-Kantian Process Philosophy of Schelling and Whitehead (2023), a philosophical exploration that seeks to bridge the epistemological divide introduced by Immanuel Kant by cultivating a participatory mode of knowing rooted in aesthetic experience. In Physics and the World-Soul: Alfred North Whitehead’s Adventures in Cosmology (2021), he situates Whitehead’s philosophy of organism within the context of contemporary scientific cosmology, engaging with relativity, quantum, evolutionary, and complexity theories to advocate for an ensouled interpretation of the universe.
