Searching for better ways to inspire people to pursue wisdom, Frederick D. Aquino argues that teachers and researchers should focus less on state-of-the-art techniques and learning outcomes and instead pay more attention to the intellectual formation of their students. We should, Aquino contends, encourage the development of an integrative habit of mind, which entails cultivating the capacity to grasp how various pieces of data and areas of inquiry fit together and to understand how to apply this information to new situations.To fully explore this notion, An Integrative Habit of Mind brings the work of the great religious figure and educator John Henry Newman into fruitful conversation with recent philosophical developments in epistemology, cognition, and education. Aquino unearths some crucial but neglected themes from Newman's writings and carries them forward into the contemporary context, revealing how his ideas can help us broaden our horizons, render apt judgments, and better understand our world and how we think about it.

Aquino delivers ably on his promise, and in the course of doing so carves out a fresh approach to Newman's thought.(Victorian Studies) For theologians and philosophers... Aquino's emphasis and push towards a modified, Newmanian view of wisdom is substantive, rich, and compelling. This emphasis on wisdom is something not commonly found in educational theory but it should be seriously considered by both faculty and administrators.(Newman Studies Journal) Aquino does an admirable job of explaining how Newman can help us answer existing epistemological questions.(The Review of Metaphysics) Before engaging on an academic career, newly hired professors could hardly do better than to read this work and integrate its approach into their courses. Recommended.(Choice)
