Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Reframed: Educating for the Virtues in the Age of Truthiness..

From ancient times, philosophers, theologians, and artists have attempted to describe and categorize the defining virtues of civilization. In Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Reframed, renowned education authority Howard Gardner explores the meaning of the title's three virtues in an age when vast technological advancement and relativistic attitudes toward human nature have deeply shaken our moral worldview. His incisive examination reveals that although these concepts are changing faster than ever before, they are--and will remain, with our stewardship--cornerstones of our society. Designed to appeal to a wide readership, Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Reframed is an approachable primer on the foundations of ethics in the modern age. ISBN: 978-0465031788

The Unschooled Mind: How Children Think and How Schools Should Teach

Why are children not mastering what they ought to be learning in school? Ten years after its original publication, Howard Gardner's answer to this pressing question is the natural sequel to his acclaimed Frames of Mind and The Minds New Science. Merging cognitive science with educational agenda, Gardner shows how ill-suited our minds and natural patterns of learning are to current educational materials, practices, and institutions, and makes an eloquent case for restructuring our schools.
