课程名称：《天才的本质》 概述：在当今社会，"天才"无处不在。从名人、运动员到儿童神童，甚至是当地的苹果公司员工，大家都在被称作天才。但他们真的是天才吗？如果不是，那么谁才是真正的天才？本课程由音乐学教授、作者克雷格·赖特主讲，他将为您阐述他对真正天才的定义和必要条件，并挑战您提出自己的看法。 课程大纲： 1. **天才的定义与否定，以及地理对天才的影响** 在第一模块的第一部分，我们轻松幽默地探讨您是否是天才，举例区分天才与名人或神童，了解"天才"的定义是高度主观且不断变化的。在第二部分，我们讨论天才与性别的关系，探讨历史上少数女性天才所面临的社会障碍，以及女性在今天的进展与挑战。第三部分则关注天才与种族、地理和社会之间的关系，探讨独创性在天才中的重要性，以及社会因素如何对天才产生鼓励或抑制。 2. **优先考虑的事情** 第二模块的第一部分探讨了一个古老的问题：天才是天生的还是后天培养的？我们会讨论表观遗传学的最新研究、智能的多种形式及其最佳测量方法。第二部分探讨了天才与幼态持续性，如何采用儿童般的思维可能是通往天才之路的关键，并深入探讨历史上的著名幼态持续天才莫扎特。第三部分讨论金钱对天才的影响，探讨是否需要富有才能成为天才，以及天才在积累财富后应如何利用这些财富。 3. **什么造就了天才？** 第三模块深入研究天才的支撑者，分析他们的驱动力和成就卓越的要素。第一部分探讨“好奇心与对风险的容忍”，或许可以回答前面的问题。我们研究历史上最具好奇心的人物——列奥纳多·达·芬奇，了解他的一天。第二部分探讨创意和历史上的多才多艺者，研究他们的思维方式及想法来源。第三部分关注热情：好奇心的必然结果是热情，热情使这些多才多艺者在某些独特的道路上前进。 4. **干扰、天才与道德，天才与“残疾”** 第四模块首先探讨道德与天才的关系。正如您所预见的，这两者不一定是相辅相成的。我们将探讨大多数天才的叛逆本质，以及其他一些天才的自我毁灭性质。同时，我们也会考虑天才与所谓“残疾”之间的关系。最后我们将反思：为了从天才带来的创造性创新中获益，我们个人愿意在多大程度上容忍不当行为和个人毁灭？课程的最后，我们将探讨研究天才的个人与社会意义，并建议如何利用所学的知识来理解“天才的本质”。
Name:Genius Defined, Genius Denied , Genius and Geography
Description:In Section 1 of Module 1 we determine, jokingly, whether you're a genius or not, provide examples of geniuses as opposed to mere celebrities or prodigies, and discover how what defines "genius" is highly subjective and ever-changing. In Section 2 we look at genius and gender. We discuss the disadvantages that the few female geniuses who do come down to us in our history book faced in their societies. We consider how far we may have progressed and what opposition still remains for women today. In Section 3 we look at genius in relationship to race, geography and society. We talk about the importance of originality in genius and about what societal factors can either encourage or discourage genius.
Name:First Things First
Description:In Section 1 of Module 2 we jump into the age-old question: is it nature or is it nurture? We'll talk about the growing science of epigenetics, the many forms of intelligence and how to best measure each. In Section 2 we consider neoteny in genius. How employing childlike thinking could be a key to genius. We'll also take some time to explore in-depth one of the more famous neotenic geniuses from our past, Mozart. Then we'll move on to discover how we deal with our young prodigies and savants in ways that may actually prevent genius from blossoming. In Section 3 we'll get down to brass tacks and talk about money's role in genius. Do you need to be rich to be a genius? What should geniuses do with their money once they accumulate it?
Name:What Makes Genius?
Description:Module 3 delves into the enablers of genius to see what drives them and what allows them to achieve such singular greatness in their lifetimes. Section 1 entitled "curiosity and a tolerance for risk," may go a long way to explaining the just-asked question. We'll study perhaps the single most curious person in history, the great, Leonardo da Vinci, and look in on a typical day in his life. In Section 2 we'll move on to explore creativity and great polymaths in history. We'll take time to examine how they think and where their ideas came from. In Section 3 we'll talk passions; the inevitable endpoint for anyone with great curiosity, is passion. Once these polymaths stumble on something of interest, they become passionate, and passion can carry them along some unusual paths. We'll explore a few of them.
Name:Disruption, Genius and Morality, Genius and “Disability”
Description:In Module 4 we start by looking at morality and genius. As you might expect by now, they do not always go hand in hand. We'll explore a few examples of the rebellious nature of most geniuses, and the personally destructive nature of several others, and we will consider the relationship between genius and so-called "disabilities." Finally, we'll step back and ask the following question: To what degree are we as individuals willing to tolerate bad behavior and, indeed, personal destruction, in order to benefit from the creative innovation that the genius brings to society? Finally, we end by suggesting the personal and societal implications inherent in the study of genius. We'll send you off by suggesting how you, and society, might employ the knowledge you've gained as you have explored "The Nature of Genius."
Today "genius" is all around us. Celebrities, athletes, child prodigies, even your local Apple employees, all are referred to as geniuses. But are they? And if not these individuals then who? In this course, Henry L. and Lucy G. Moses Professor of Music Emeritus and author of The Hidden Habits of Genius, Craig Wright, will begin by giving you his definition and prerequisites for true genius and challenge you to come up with your own. From there we'll look at examples of geniuses both historica
