I wonder what edition of Oxford's Marx has. Mine says:
"The power of the mind to reason contrasted with emotions and
instincts".
Thus if we omit the "mind" stuff intellect is REASON which is
objectivity itself and ...contrasted with EMOTIONS which is
subjectivity itself ("instincts" are so low on the scale that I drop it)
See Intellect is the S/O contrast!
I write in my SOL essay:
"What screws it up is the said "mind" notion which makes anyone
reading this interpret it as mind doing the intellectualizing", while
in MOQ's definition intellect is doing the subject/object-ualizing."
Thanks for reading my posts so thoroughly.
