Keep Them Bells A-Tolling.
Barrow, Robin
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v41 n3 p289-96 Sep 1995
Criticizes "The Bell Curve" for its lack of understanding of the philosophical nature of intelligence (and mind). Points out that various philosophical attempts to analyze the concept of intelligence are routinely ignored by empirical workers in the field of IQ testing because such philosophical work makes obvious the lack of connection between IQ scores and intelligence.
