Tom Atlee is founder of The Co-Intelligence Institute http://www.co-intelligence.org. He coined the term co-intelligence, which he usually defines as meaning what intelligence looks like when we take seriously the wholeness, co-creativity and interconnectedness of life. Collective intelligence is only one manifestation of co-intelligence. Others include multi-modal intelligence, collaborative intelligence, wisdom, resonant intelligence and universal intelligence.
While he loves to philosophize about all the nuances and manifestations of wholeness, his central calling is to weave a holistic vision, theory and practice of democracy based on new understandings of living systems and deliberative democracy (see "A Call to Move Beyond Public Opinion to Public Judgment" http://www.co-intelligence.org/CIPol_publicjudgment.html ).
But he also likes to promote all resources for building a wiser democracy on http://www.democracyinnovations.org.
