      ab: This article is an integral response to "Epistemological Pluralism in Futures Studies," featured as a special issue of Futures (Vol. 42, No. 2). Since that issue itself was a critical response to "Integral Futures," a 2008 special edition of Futures (Vol. 40, No. 2), this article reflects on the "debate" and responds with inquiries concerning the truth claims of postmodern and poststructuralist epistemological pluralism and its criticism of Integral Theory. I begin with a review of the articles featured in the 2008 issue and then examine the validity of some of the 2010 critiques of Integral Futures, focusing in particular on the accuracy of the criticism of Ken Wilber and his contribution to Integral Theory. I also examine the claims of "epistemological pluralism" to consider whether it is an appropriate framework for futures inquiry and practice. The article concludes with an historical overview of Integral Theory.
