Editor's Foreword

This issue commences with a thought-provoking contribution by Kim McCaul, a researcher of the application of the conscientiological approach and the consciential paradigm in cross-cultural contexts. In his paper, McCaul examines the consciential paradigm and addresses how it may be employed in anthropology research.

Following this article is Luis Minero’s presentation of a proposed system for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of life experiences in terms of their opportunity for evolution. Minero also hypothesizes how individuals who become able to combine their acquired learning from diverse life experiences would develop.
