Building the 21st-Century Mind: Scientific American

  • In Five Minds for the Future, I describe the kinds of minds that will
    be at the highest premium going forward. Although our existing models of
    learning are reasonably good for developing a disciplined mind, they have almost
    nothing to say about the synthesizing mind, though it is arguably the most
    important mind for the 21st century. I don’t think that any of us knows how best
    to cultivate the creative mind; but our current ways of thinking and teaching
    are excellent at quashing the creative mind.
     
    As for the last two
    kinds of mind I identify in the book—respectful and ethical—these are generally
    considered beyond the purview of theories of learning.  Respect should be
    inculcated from birth, and is best learned by example.  As for the ethical
    mind, that has been my chief research concern for the past 15 years.  Our
    current thinking about this vexing topic is best accessed via a visit to
