Multiple Intelligences w/ Dr. Howard Gardner

In 'Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences,' Howard Gardner argues against the traditional view of intelligence as a uniform, static quality. Instead, he proposes that there are several distinct types of intelligence, including linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. Gardner's theory broadens the definition of intelligence and highlights the various ways in which humans can exhibit intelligent behavior, beyond the conventional measures of 'book smarts. ' The book is a celebration of the diverse ways human beings can be intelligent and has had a significant impact on educational practices and the understanding of human potential.

In 'The New Science', Vico presents a comprehensive and original work that prefigured the Age of Enlightenment. The book explores the development of civilization through recurring cycles (corsi e ricorsi) of three ages: the divine, the heroic, and the human. Vico argues that civilization is shaped by human imagination and the common sense (sensus communis) of communities. He also emphasizes the role of language and metaphor in the development of human societies. Despite being largely ignored in his lifetime, Vico's work has had a profound influence on thinkers such as Ranke, Marx, and Joyce.
