Chapter 14: MI Theory and Existential Intelligence

This chapter introduces a potential ninth intelligence, existential intelligence. This is basically the deep questions about the meaning of life and why are we here. This is a highly spiritual concept and I will struggle with it in the classroom. The class is supposed to be a safe area for all students, when you start adding spirituality and religious thoughts there are going to be people that are uncomfortable. While the bigger questions in life can probably be tied into all subject areas, I think they are extremely personal thoughts and have no place in a public classroom.
