I pointed to the irrelevance of this your remark in a previous post, but
forgot to show that the definition of "intellect" that Marsha provided ...
1. the power or faculty of the mind by which one knows or
understands, as distinguished from that by which one feels and
that by which one wills; the understanding; the faculty of
thinking and acquiring knowledge. 2. capacity for thinking and
acquiring knowledge, esp. of a high or complex order; mental
capacity. 3. a particular mind or intelligence, esp. of a high
order. 4. a person possessing a great capacity for thought and
knowledge. 5. minds collectively, as of a number of persons or
the persons themselves.
also contains the same distinction between understanding and
emotions. "Thinking and acquiring knowledge, especially of a high and
complex order" also indicates OBJECTIVITY. However, I have no
illusion that contemporary dictionaries will speak about "intellect" in the
MOQ sense , but we see that they all draw a line between intelligence
and intellect and that's significant, because the confusion of the two is
what messes up MOQ's 4th. level for so many. We can also see that
no one brings Pirsig's "manipulation of symbol" definition.
