Five minds for the future - book

We live in a time of vast changes. And those changes call for entirely new ways of learning and thinking. Howard Gardner defines the cognitive abilities that will command a premium in the years ahead:
- the disciplinary mind: mastery of major schools of thought (including science, mathematics, and history) and of at least one professional craft
- the synthesizing mind: ability to integrate ideas from different disciplines or spheres into a coherent whole and to communicate that integration to others
- the creating mind: capacity to uncover and clarify new problems, questions, and phenomena
- the respectful mind: awareness of and appreciation for differences among human beings and human groups
- the ethical mind: fulfillment of one's responsibilities as a worker and citizen
