I think Plato (Socrates) is the first one to write of intellectualism as opposed to emotionalism.
There are those that pretend to be intellectual but are sometimes termed pseudo-intellectuals. Then there are the members of Mensa who give intellectuals a bad name since an intellectual needs to be modest. I think that just following the rules of discourse with careful definition of terms can go a long way to making intellectual progress. -- Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carrol Cox" <[email protected]> To: "Progressive Economics" <[email protected]>, "Progressive and Critical Sociologist Network" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Sent: Monday, January 28, 2013 7:58:06 AM Subject: [Pen-l] Query Does anyone know of a text (book, article, e-mail post, published diary, letter to the editor, etc) in which the word "intellectualism" is used WITHOUT any reference to "anti-intellectualism"? Or, alternatively, does anyone know of a text referring to "anti-intellectualism" that _also_ uses and defines the positive content of the word "intellectualism"? Wikipedia is really bad on the word "intellectualism." Carrol P.S. Would anyone on the list try to discuss Intellectualism WITHOUT referring to "anti-intellectualism"? _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
