Marsha: Hmmm. I was looking for the attributes that define all intellectual static patterns of value? RMP has stated that the Intellectual Level "contains such static intellectual patterns as theology, science, philosophy, mathematics." Anthony has added "Intellectual values include truth, justice, freedom, democracy and, trial by jury." Doesn't this suggest that these intellectual patterns are more sophisticated than "all definition"? > [Marsha] >> Do you think the definition of 'sneeze' is an intellectual pattern? > > Craig: > Yes, as are all definitions. Marsha: Do you mean formal definitions, like those that evolved with modern literacy? And do you include the use of all words, since all words have an associated definition (in the literary sense). Surely human's carried in their memory loosely held and shared definitions of people, places, things, and events long before the early Greeks? These definitions were shared and reinforced through oral discourse: conversation, formal speeches, poetry and drama.
