Existential Intelligence is the sensitivity and capacity to engage questions about human existence – how we got here, whether we have a purpose, and whether there is meaning in Life. Existential intelligence embraces the exploration of aesthetics, philosophy, religion and values like beauty, truth, and goodness. A strong existential intelligence allows human beings to see their place in the big picture, be it in the classroom, community, world, or universe.
First proposed by Howard Gardner, existential intelligence is one of nine theorized intelligences and is considered to be amoral – that is, it and the other eight categories of human intelligence can be used either constructively or destructively.
Oh, you need to tell me where these lovely icons reside. Perhaps when wordless Wednesday is over.

ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, we all deserve to have four sisters praying over us each and every night. And if anyone needs to visit them, they reside on my porch. Which is a Safe Space, open to all.
I'm so glad the blog is back!
