Since the dawn of civilization, humans have struggled to describe the defining virtues of civilizationand, in the process, have confronted some of mankinds most difficult and enduring questions. In Truth, Beauty, and Goodness Reframed, renowned scholar Howard Gardner traces the astonishing transformations in our conceptions of these three virtues in our lifetimeand describes the newfound challenges in making sense of them. How do we distinguish truth from truthiness in the Age of the Internet? How do we judge beauty when modern artists treat it like an outdated virtue? And how do we distinguish right from wrong in age of relativistic and politicized morality? In this incisive and masterful book, Gardner brilliantly highlights the current state of these virtues, argues for their continued importance in human society, and explains how we should be educating for them in the twenty-first centuryboth in and out of the classroom.
