Revisioning Moreno

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Colleagues,
    It occurred to me that there are few people who seem to have made real contributions to so many different fields. Moreno did, regarding
       theory
          education
              business
          social psychology
              sociology
                  philosophy
          theology
               art
                  culture and the place of creativity and improvisation
                         politics
              criminology

      creativity theory
          theatre arts (improvisational)
                therapy
                       group
                       action

         role playing in politics, complex skill training   role training in general
                nonverbal communications

             and so forth.

     Albert Schweitzer?  missionary, medicine, music, theology
        Buckminster Fuller   Emmanuel Swedenborg,  Leibniz,   ? 
            Who else comes to mind as a genius with so many-faceted interests and applications?
  
 (I am not afraid to recognize also Moreno's many flaws, and how in many ways these may have served to interfere with his overall effectiveness in getting his insights recognized and widely disseminated. However, these weaknesses don't contradict the value of his genius.)
        
      I could use your input, further facets of his contributions, and who else have been such polymaths?

           Thanks for your response. Warmly, Adam
