Chapter 2 Page 26
引用的Max Weber的话,很受用,原文如下“The heart of the matter—to borrow a distinction made by Max Weber about politics—is that the professional man lives off ideas, not for them. His professional role, his professional skills, do not make him an intellectual. He is a mental worker, a technician. He may happen to be an intellectual as well, but if he is, it is because he brings to his profession a distinctive feeling about ideas which is not required by his job.” 对intellect身份和职业的关系做了精辟的解释。其实其意思是,一个人是不是intellect跟他做什么职业没关系,没有哪个职业全都是intellect,相反做同样行业和职位的人,有些是intellect,有些就不是。
第二十五页,有通过对比intellect和intelligence来解释作者认为的intellect:
“Intellect, on the other hand, is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of mind. Whereas intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, adjust, intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes, imagines. Intelligence will seize the immediate meaning in a situation and evaluate it. Intellect evaluates evaluations, and looks for the meanings of situations as a whole. Intelligence can be praised as a quality in animals; intellect, being a unique manifestation of human dignity, is both praised and assailed as a quality in men.”
