Last month I confessed that, for some reason, I had consistently forgotten to include psychology in the various tables about the social sciences I had developed in recent years.
Howard Gardner is perhaps the most “distinguished” of US psychologists – by which I mean not that he is the “best known” (that is probably Stephen Pinker) but that he is recognised as the one who has made the biggest contribution to the field in the past 40 years (he is my age).
Starting with his 1983 “Frames of Mind”, which developed his idea of multiple intelligences, he has not rest content with clinical trials but has rolled up his sleeves and got involved in the practical field of education. The Unschooled Mind (1995) dealt with how how children saw the world in their early years and The Disciplined Mind (1999) is a brave attempt to rise above contentious and faddish discussions and establish a more fundamental philosophy of learning.
I was intrigued with his recent memoir A Synthesising Mind – a memoir (2020)
