Epistemic theories of truth What is truth? How to know that a proposition is true? Verificationist approaches: A-priorism / Certainty theory – a proposition is true iff it is known with certainty or can be proven. Positivism – a proposition is true iff it is verifiable by sensory experiences. Perspectivist/relativist approaches: Individualist perspectivism (This is my truth!) Collectivist perspectivism – the proposition is true based on a consensus of a relevant group (e.g., scientific community, proletariat, authority, oppressed minorities). Transcendental perspectivism – the truth-conferring perspective is outside of immediate human reach (e.g., God or Nature). Pragmatic approaches: Completed science (limit of scientific inquiry) – the proposition is true iff it will be accepted in the long run by scientists using scientific ration inquiry. Epistemology is the branch of philosophy concerned with knowledge- e.g., the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge, epistemic justification, the rationality of belief, and various related issues.

The Theory of Multiple Intelligences Howard Earl Gardner (born July 11, 1943), Jewish American. Professor of psychology and education in Harvard. Author of 30 books and hundreds of research papers. Is intelligence a single thing or various independent intellectual faculties? 

The Theory of Multiple Intelligences The intelligence modalities: Logical-mathematical - logic, abstractions, reasoning, numbers, critical thinking, etc. Linguistic-verbal - reading, writing, articulation ideas, memorizing, etc. Visual-spatial - navigation, visualization, faces or scene recognition, attention to details… Musical-rhythmic and harmonic - sensitivity to rhythm, pitch, meter, tone, melody or timbre. Bodily-kinesthetic - control of bodily motions, handling of objects, training responses, etc. Intrapersonal - introspective and self-reflective capacities. Interpersonal - social skills, cooperation, reading and manipulating other people, etc.

Criticism of the MI Theory Among many others: Not supported by intelligence tests and psychometrics (high correlation between different aspects of intelligence) Axiomatic problems - problematic terminology (“intelligence”)
