In 'Art, Mind, and Brain', Howard Gardner explores human creativity, especially in the arts. This book is a reaction to the excessive emphasis on the cognitive by contemporary psychologists, highlighting the importance of personality, emotions, and cultural context in mental processes. Gardner examines the artistic domain in relation to language from various perspectives, including those of Cassirer, Langer, Goodman, and Chomsky. It analyzes artistic production from multiple angles: the normal child, the gifted child, the child with pathological symptoms, the normal adult, the adult with brain damage, the individual from a different cultural context, and the artist at the peak of their ability.
Howard Earl Gardner is an American developmental psychologist and the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Research Professor of Cognition and Education at Harvard University.
