Is there a implication of ranking with the way the levels are numbered? Are Level 5 people "more advanced" than lower levels and should one strive to move up levels?
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see post-modernists as the ultimate peak of human thinking.
Kegan points out that many who fancy themselves as postmodernists are actually trapped in level 3. They have been told that modernism has its flaws and there therefore reject it and stay at level 3. This fits some young people in college.
A level 5 would be post-modern in the sense that they have mastered modernist ideas but are not trapped within them.
