An overview of Spiral Dynamics, explanation of common misconceptions, and how it relates to the arts.

Spiral Dynamics is a developmental model that describes the various stages of evolution that humans go through both individually and collectively, and which can help us understand how the growth of consciousness affects all areas of life, including the arts.

First developed by Prof. Clare Graves in the 1960’s, it shows that each stage of development is characterized by a unique worldview or values system, one that builds on—but is no longer limited to—the previous stages of development. In his own words:

"Briefly, what I am proposing is that the psychology of the mature human being is an unfolding, emergent, oscillating, spiraling process marked by progressive subordination of older, lower-order behavior systems to newer, higher-order systems as man's existential problems change."
— Prof. Clare Graves, developer of Spiral Dynamics
