Intelligence's Creative Multiplicity And Its Critical Role in the Future of Understanding

From the book's back cover: "We take appropriate pride in our rationality, but other aspects of our cognitive complexity-the imaginal, the emotional, the intelligence of the body-play equally important roles in our unique toolmaking, meaning-making natures. Creative Systems Theory brings particular attention to the role of intelligence's multiplicity in what makes us human. And it argues that a greater appreciation for intelligence's multiple aspects will become more and more critical in times ahead. The theory describes how a more conscious and encompassing relationship to the whole of intelligence is key to the more nuanced and mature-we could say simply wise-kind of decision-making that will be increasingly necessary in all parts of our lives. Intelligence's Creative Multiplicity offers a deep-dive look into this rich and dynamic new picture of cognition's workings."
