Nice to know Howard Gardner agrees with me!

Nice to know that in his senior years Howard Gardner agrees with me!

In recent times Howard Gardner might be said to have shifted his position in giving interviews such as the one HERE

This looks to be getting close to my position as set out in the model presented here SEE summaries and diagram HERE

However there is absolutely no bitterness, or envy, about the millions of dollars and the mega-bunch of bright-young-students he’s had to spend on his 7 or 8 intelligences – and then, in his senior years, indicating that that isn’t really the way to go!

Of course the general theory developed by Gardner is true but it didn’t best answer the question behind his late-in-the-day realization about ‘truth beauty and goodness’ (Wilber’s ‘I WE and IT voices’).

What was that question? It is this; “On what should we structure education, so as to get civilizing human beings and civilized societies?”

The answer as I model it is HERE

Wilber video: The Spirituality of Tomorrow

On YouTube there are a number of videos showing Ken Wilber in dialogue and answering questions

The posters of this video say;

The Catholic theologian Karl Rahner famously said “the Christian of tomorrow will be a mystic, or not a Christian at all.” Few people have impacted Christianity in this regard as has Fr. Thomas Keating. A Cistercian monk from St. Benedict’s Monastery in Snowmass, Colorado, Fr. Thomas has spent a lifetime in deep Christian practice, and in sharing the fruits of this contemplation with countless others. We were enormously blessed to host a dialogue with Fr. Thomas and Ken Wilber in April of 2006. In today’s featured video, Ken presents some of the foundational concepts of Integral spirituality.

Wilber and a spiritual view of art as the germ for a new (old) aesthetic

‘….great art is judged by its capacity to take your breath away, take your self away, take time away, all at once.’

In this statement from The Simple Feeling of Being p 190 we have the germ of a spiritual, spiritualising and mystical aesthetic.

Wilber’s spiritual view of art of course rests on the Perennial Philosophy a view of the structure of reality that is thousands of years old.
