Ken Wilber's Four Quadrants
Begin with the fact that each of the quadrants is described in a different type of language.
I
The Upper Left is described in `I' language
The Lower Left
The Lower Left is described in `we' language
The two Right Hand: It/Its
The two Right Hand quadrants, since they are both objective, are described in `it' language.

These are essentially Sir Karl Popper's `three worlds' (subjective, cultural, and objective); Plato's the Good (as the ground of morals, the `we' of the Lower Left), the True (objective truth or it-propositions, the Right Hand), and the Beautiful (the aesthetic beauty in the I of each beholder, the Upper Left); Habermas' three validity claims (subjective truthfulness of I, cultural justness of we, and objective truth of its). Historically of great importance, these are also the three major domains of Kant's three critiques: science or its (Critique of Pure Reason), morals or we (Critique of Practical Reason), and art and self-expression of the I (Critique of Judgment). --http://www.imprint.co.uk/Wilber.htm [Sept 2004]
