parochial |
The recurrent assertions that we have to bow to the logic of science of our researchers(1), |
and to the rational arguments of our politicians must stop(2). This parochial view of the | |
logical and rational intelligence relegated in the minds of the few and privileged is | |
responsible for the current wrongs of globalization and the breakdown of our democracies. | |
|
|
multiple |
Professor Howard Gardner(3) states that the logic or rational abilities don't make up our |
intelligence, and in fact he distinguishes multiple intelligences such as the linguistic of the | |
poets, the logical and mathematical of the scientists, the musical of the composers, the | |
spatial of sculptors and airplane pilots, the kinesthetics of dancers and athletes, the | |
interpersonal of the teachers and salesmen, the intrapersonal within ourselves, the natural | |
of the hunter. | |
|
|
distributed understanding |
,Gardner also refers to the contextual and distributed understanding of intelligence and |
includes friends, books, computer files--and I would add Internet bookmarks-- as part | |
of our overall intelligence. | |
|
|
Donah |
Writer Daniel Goleman has described emotional intelligence(4) as the ability to empathize |
and relate to others, and professor Donah Zohar has further defined another intelligence, | |
the spiritual intelligence(5), that intelligence which makes us whole, integral and | |
transformative. Intelligence is people and it is democracy, intelligence is not multinational | |
corporations and it is not globalization. | |
