Summary

      In the essay “Five minds for the future” Howard Gardner describes the disciplinary mind which masters a way of thinking about a specific scholarly discipline. The synthesizing mind takes information and evaluates in a way to give the information a meaning. The creating mind puts forward new ideas, suggest creative ways of thinking and generates unexpected answers.The respectful mind differences between people and cultures and accepts them in a sympathetically and constructively way and the ethical mind is more abstract than the respectful mind and it’s more about meaning.
