CHAPTER

What Are the Three Styles of Curiousness in Your Book?

Sally Kohn: You talk about three styles of curiosity that you say are relatively consistent across time. One is the busybody, one is the hunter, and the other is the dancer. Can you tell us about these archetypes of curiosity?Kohn: This work is really centered in philosophical history specifically and then Western intellectual thought. So therefore it is necessarily limited. And we end up turning to animals and creatures at the end of the book to say, well, we don't even have to go to the literature of centuries old. We can learn a lot about styles of curiosity from them.
