Howard Gardner’s brilliant conception of individual competence has changed the face of education in the two decades since the publication of his classic work, “Frames of Mind.” Thousands of educators, parents, and researchers all over the world have explored the practical implications and applications of his Multiple Intelligences theory—the powerful notion that there are separate human capacities, ranging from musical intelligence to the intelligence involved in self-understanding. This new edition of “Multiple Intelligences” covers all developments since its original publication in 1993, and stands as the most thorough and up-to-date account of the theory and application of Multiple Intelligences available anywhere. Completely revised throughout, it features new material on global applications and on Multiple Intelligences in the workplace, an assessment of Multiple Intelligences practice in the current conservative educational climate, new evidence about brain functioning, and much more.
