Language, Intelligence, and Thought

  • Robin Barrow

Abstract

In Language, Intelligence and Thought, Robin Barrow decisively rejects the traditional assumption that intelligence is a ‘given’ capacity and contends instead that intelligence is developed by the enlargement of understanding. Written by a leading philosopher of education, this stimulating and controversial book offers a reasoned and extended argument in favour of an original view of philosophical analysis. It will be welcomed by students of education, philosophy and the philosophy of education alike as a stimulating and scholarly argument that firmly discards the traditional ideas about intelligence expressed in the educational literature.
