Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect- that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skill.
Society should place more emphasis on the intellect, nevertheless the responsibility of society is more than that, and it also should put much stress on emotion and imagination.
M-W中intellect的定义
1 a : the power of knowing as distinguished from the power to feel and to will : the capacity for knowledge b : the capacity for rational or intelligent thought especially when highly developed
2 : a person with great intellectual powers
我得理解:intellect更接近于与natural science的关系。中文的“智能,逻辑思考的能力”
因此,这段可以论证科技对于人类社会的促进作用
同时,与intellect, reasoning, cognitive相对的是emotion and imagination. For example, the art and music and so on!
Absence of intellect, the whole society would plunge into a precarious state. Of all the ingredients triggering crimes, the most primary reason is lack of ability of reason, with improper approches to control their emotion such as outrage(?).This point make me remind a impressive scene in the movie" Seven Sins". When the police acted by Peter knew that his beloved wife was murdered, he killed the murderer directly. As a matter of fact, human beings are more inclined to depend on their instinct than their reasoning skill to address problems. Although that police mentioned above was aware that the murderer's purpose was to outrage him in order to lead him to violate the law, and although his duty as a policeman was to prevent crime, he still let his outrage decide all. Therefore, such is certainly necessary that society should put more stress on the intellect to reduce instinct working on humans. The more people lose their logical thinking, the more safty of society is lost.
Moreover, reasoning and other cognitive skill is the sourse to improve for our society. Cognitive skills enable us to overcome empiricism to steer clear of obstacle for the development of our society. Each scientific theory has its limit, which means that its state of being right is invariably based on some preconditions. Put it in other way, no theory is perfect. It is the reasoning and cognitive skill that instruct Einstein to find out the limit of classical physics estabilished by Newton and produced the theory of relativity. Thus, the cognitive skill is the basical skill for us to study and research and the power of our evolution as well.
On the other hand, a cold society, with none of emotion, is terrible, even if it is full of logic and entirely in order. The positive emotions such as sympathy , mutal love are required by the society. Without emotion, our society has no differences with machine’s world and absence of emotion will result in a great deal social problems. And the emotions between people can solidify the society.Moreover, the imagination also require our emphasis. A society, with none of imagination lose the power to improve as well.The imagination without restriction of reality may be the only technique for us to break the limit of us.
Simply put, our society should take more responsibility than emphasis on the intellect, and it also should place effort on cultivate the noble emotion and imagination.
