Fostering the Growth of High Ability

European Perspective

Herausgeber: Cropley, Arthur J.; Dehn, Detlev

Beschreibung

The chapters in this book all appeared originally in the European Journal for High Ability, reprinted here to expose them to a North American readership. They cover basic concepts in the study of giftedness, cognition and problem solving, musical talent and counseling. The authors come from a dozen different countries including the United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, France, Italy, and Sweden. Also represented are nations such as Russia, Poland, and Hungary, which have just emerged from a period of domination of ideas by a socio-political tradition known to North Americans only in the abstract.

Autor

The author of "Picatrix" was likely a highly educated and intellectually versatile scholar, deeply rooted in the Arabic-speaking world of the 11th century. He was well-versed in a variety of disciplines, including astrology, alchemy, and philosophy, drawing on Greek, Persian, and Indian sources. As a participant in the Islamic Golden Age's rich scholarly tradition, he likely had access to extensive libraries and intellectual circles. His work suggests a blend of academic knowledge and practical application, indicating both theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in astrological and magical practices.
