MI Chapter 14

This chapter is a great way to end the book. It brought up the idea of there being a ninth intelligence, ninth intelligence, that being the existential. This means “the capacity to locate oneself with respect to the furthest reaches of the cosmos” and then continues on saying that it’s related to “the capacity to locate oneself with respect to such existential features of the human condition as the significance of life” This is not advocating for religion in the classroom, but for students to be comfortable asking themselves questions like “who are we?” I think this is a good idea as long as the idea of religion is not being forced into a student’s brain and it truly stays focused on what this student feels comfortable with.
