In Person
STEVE McINTOSH
Steve McIntosh is a philosopher of noosphere evolution. Influenced by Alfred North Whitehead and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, his work focuses on understanding intrinsic value and furthering the development of human consciousness and culture. Author of 5 acclaimed philosophy books, since 2013, McIntosh has served as cofounder and president of the Institute for Developmental Philosophy.
At the heart of McIntosh's thinking is the cosmic significance of the "primary values"—the ancient triad of beauty, truth, and goodness. As a convening voice of the conference, he will help articulate the broader philosophical vision behind the gathering's focus on these primary values.
McIntosh's most recent book is: Truth Emerging: A Developmental Philosophy of Purpose and Progress (Orbis Books, 2026)
