'Frames of Mind' presents the argument for multiple relatively autonomous human intelligences, the 'frames of mind' of the title. Gardner draws on psychological research, biological sciences and insights from different cultures to support his theory. These different intelligences can be developed and combined in various ways by individuals and cultures, making them a powerful tool for understanding human cognition.
This book is aimed at psychologists, cognition scientists, educators, and policy-makers interested in a broader understanding of intelligence. It's also useful for those interested in pedagogical techniques and individual learning styles.

"Frames of Mind" by Howard Gardner introduces the groundbreaking concept of multiple intelligences. He argues that human intellect cannot be understood through the traditional notion of a single general intelligence. Instead, Gardner proposes the idea of multiple intelligences -- independent intellectual capacities people can possess. Through evidence from several fields of scientific study, he reaffirms the existence of these distinct forms of intelligence. They are, in his opinion, integral to how individuals perceive and interact with the world around them. While the primary focus of his work is academic, revealing critical insights for educators and policy makers, it also has profound practical implications for anyone seeking to understand and foster their innate intellectual potentials.
