Conscious Evolution
The concept of conscious evolution refers to the theoretical ability of human beings to become conscious participants in the evolution of their cultures, or even of the entirety of human society, based on a relatively recent combination of factors, including increasing awareness of cultural and social patterns, reaction against perceived problems with existing patterns, injustices, inequities, and other factors.
The idea of conscious evolution is not a specific theory, but it has loose connections to integral theory, metamodernism, General Evolutionary Theory (also known as Evolutionary Systems Theory), Spiral Dynamics, and noosphere thought. Barbara Marx Hubbard also connects the idea with that of the global brain; Julie A. Yusupova associates conscious evolution with collective consciousness.
Some have suggested "conscious cultural-evolution" as a more accurate term, to reduce association with standard biological evolution, though this is not widely applied.
