ABSTRACT
The present interview was realized for the occasion of the panel on “Educating to Scientific
Thinking” at the sixth Edition of the General States of Digital School in Bergamo (Italy, 2021). The
interview focuses on six topics reflecting on scientific thinking, the forms of creativity and the
many intelligences that it hinges on. Introduced by observations on the educational system, each
question is asked in the light of the ideas developed in “A Synthesizing Mind”, as well as in “Frames
of Mind”, “The Good Project”, and “Five Minds for Future”. From the conversation, a consistent
picture emerges, which is in fact continuously evolving while artificial intelligence and quantum
technologies pervade our everyday lives, and fundamental research questions about the human
mind gain the center of the stage.
