Still can't find it. Walser is putting together a Small Reader with lots of Chris's best writing in it. Wonderful, concise. We miss Chris. Your writing has some of the best Chris qualities: explaining, keeping it clear, weaving diverse sources together to make basic and needed points. Great to see you using McClary AND McClusky, Said and Farmelo, keeping the Buffalo scene in the mix. <br /> charles Keilhttp://borntogroove.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465495782646975618.post-30298425094279326722013-05-06T17:31:02.881-07:002013-05-06T17:31:02.881-07:00Interesting observation about prophetic wisdom bei...Interesting observation about prophetic wisdom being academic writing or not. I think we can use such sources the way we would use other forms of indigenous knowledge, but I suppose it depends on what one means by 'academic writing.'YJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903053939292255515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465495782646975618.post-47851739429796505582013-05-06T17:25:58.968-07:002013-05-06T17:25:58.968-07:00Thanks for visiting, and I'm happy you found t...Thanks for visiting, and I'm happy you found the articles interesting.YJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903053939292255515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465495782646975618.post-16657809895639904602013-05-06T17:25:11.584-07:002013-05-06T17:25:11.584-07:00"I found Progler's trope of characterisin..."I found Progler's trope of characterising 'stupidity' as he works to envision intelligence startling and generative. Certainly one invokes stupidity when one speaks of intelligence, and Progler is right to insist that any theorist of intelligence bear this in mind. One wonders what Gardner would think about Progler's suggestion that a cultural grouping (such as that of the high-culture WASP) whose members, on average, struggle to keep a beat and generally shy from erupting into song can be classed as 'musically stupid' in broader human terms."<br /><br />From Susan Mayer's <a href="http://www2.uwstout.edu/content/jaaacs/Mayer_V6.pdf" rel="nofollow">review</a> of <i>Multiple Intelligences Reconsidered</i>.YJPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00903053939292255515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8465495782646975618.post-53516045290761926552012-11-05T19:50:37.224-08:002012-11-05T19:50:37.224-08:00Hi Prof.Progler, I am one of your students in Soci...Hi Prof.Progler, I am one of your students in Social Theory class(APU).

I've just read the first one-third of this writing and a full text of your previous writing about Islamic education when I realized that I have to go for a guidance at the campus. Your point of view is interesting, though I find that in the middle of the writing you tend to go far with islamic point of view by reciting the Prophet's (PBUH) records as if they are some general academic writings (or they are?).<br />Btw, I'm looking forward to your class, and maybe later your personal guidance and critic.Li Rachmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18243047623964269611noreply@blogger.com
