Description
Intelligence Reframed: Multiple Intelligences for the 21st Century by Howard E. Gardner provides a comprehensive report on the theory of multiple intelligences, which posits that intelligence is more than a single property of the human mind. First introduced in Frames of Mind, this groundbreaking idea has revolutionized our thinking about intelligence and creativity. In Intelligence Reframed, Gardner offers practical guidance on the educational uses of the theory, responds to critiques, and introduces two new intelligences: existential intelligence and naturalist intelligence. He argues that the concept of intelligence should be broadened, but not so broadly that it loses its meaning. This book also explores provocative ideas about creativity, leadership, and moral excellence. Gardner's work on multiple intelligences has had a significant impact on our understanding of human potential, and this book provides valuable insights into the theory and its applications in various fields.
