Bo, I have thought abut what you have said, and I find it very interesting. To define the intellectual level as the ability to reason about the world and one self as separate seems reasonable (no pun intended). I haven't really described it all to well here, and that needs to be bettered I think. Because As we talked about the possible emergence of an intellectual way of analyzing the world (as being separate from it in a SOM sense, though not necessarily the way it was hammered out by the Greeks, but not to far from it either) and of the assumed regression of the level as such in the Middle Ages, the need for examination of this very thing, intellectualising (in a MOQ perspective) becomes apparent. And also very helpful in understanding the whole of history I'd say. I can for instance mention the analyzing of beliefs in "Magic" that were both accepted and exposed to persecution during the late Middle Ages (a very Dynamic time if any) - the analyzing of this is difficult, because there isn't really any clarity as to what is being dealt with. All of this gives me more ideas of different things that could and should be researched more carefully.
Well, I'll continue thinking about this, but just a couple of questions to you Bo: First, I never got what SOL stood for (excuse my ignorance) and secondly, do you find the definition of the intellectual level I wrote above correct (so to speak)?
