Explores the ethical dimansions of high ability.

Full Description

Morality, Ethics, and Gifted Minds brings together the leading thinkers from diverse scholarly fields to share and integrate their perspectives on morality and high ability (giftedness, talent, creativity). These two broad areas of inquiry should have much more overlap and interconnection than currently exists. One of the many justifications for such connection making is the pressing need for application of intelligent, creative minds to the many ethical dilemmas plaguing our world today. Another is the troubling propensity for some of the most creative, gifted people to generate or catalyze those ethical dilemmas. Along with many other leading authorities, most of the authors contributing to this book frequently lament the lack of wise analysis and problem solving in education and in attempts to grapple with moral issues in today's complex, socioeconomic, political, and cultural arenas. Considerable work has been done in various fields to understand ethical issues. This book explores much of the current wisdom on ethics and morality while developing new perspectives on the ethical dimensions of high ability.The prominent authors featured in this book come from diverse disciplines to create an interdisciplinary approach, recognizing that no single discipline can capture the essence and entirety of nettlesome, complex, multidimensional moral issues.
More specifically, the book (a) explores new dimensions of ethics and morality, (b) magnifies the importance of applying highly intelligent minds to ethical issues while developing ways to strengthen the ethical awareness of the creative and gifted, and (c) brings diverse, interdisciplinary perspectives to bear on these issues. Many of the contributors are scholars in "creative-intelligence" fields (i.e., creative studies, giftedness, talent development). Others are prominent scholars from other fields and disciplines (e.g., ethical philosophy, psychology, bioethics, political theory, legal theory, critical thinking, theoretical physics). Morality, Ethics, and Gifted Minds will be of interest to researchers and practitioners in the fields of gifted education, creative studies, and general education.
