Marsha's definition:
Within the MoQ, fourth level, the Intellectual Level, is comprised of
intellectual static patterns of value. The way that these patterns function is
as reified concepts and the rules for their rational analysis and manipulation.
Reification decontextualizes. Intellectual patterns process from a
subject/object conceptual framework creating false boundaries that give the
illusion of independence as a “thing” or an “object of analysis.” The fourth
level is a formalized subject/object level (SOM), where the paramount demand is
for rational, objective knowledge, which is free from the taint of any
subjectivity.
dmb's alternative:
According to the MOQ, the intellectual level includes all intellectual static
patterns and all intellectual thought styles, such as classical and romantic
for example. These patterns are derived from experience and their veracity
depends on their ability to function in experience. The MOQ's
reconceptualization of the intellect is predicated on a rejection of
subject-object metaphysics, the conceptual framework that reifies subjects and
objects. (The MOQ says subjects and objects are concepts, not entities.) Unlike
SOM, where the paramount demand is for objectivity and disinterested
observation, the MOQ's fourth level gives us an expanded form of rationality
that includes feelings, passions, alternate modes of consciousness and all the
other categories of experience formerly dismissed as "merely" subjective.
