Hi Marsha
You are surely a good person, a good painter too, but it's a bit
frustrating labouring over letters for hours and all you get is this ..
giggle. I see no rational refutation of the said dictionary definition
of "intellect" (being the abiility to distinguish between objective
and subjective) Try again. I re-quote it for you benefit. What's the
fault in my reasoning?
Oxford Advanced:
"The power of mind to reason contrasted with feeling and
instinct."
Power of mind we may omit, what's not p.o.m. in SOM?
Reason is objectivity itself and feeling (emotions) the very
embodiment of subjectivity ( instinct even lower down, biology
IMO) thus intellect is the power of distinguishing between what's
objective and what's subjective.
