  The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect is a 1994 novel by Roger Williams.

 The Catholic Encyclopedia - Intellect
The main features of the Aristotelean doctrine of intellect, and of its essential distinction from the faculty of sensuous cognition, were adhered to by the general body of the Schoolmen.
The intellect is essentially the faculty of truth and falsity, and in its judicial acts it at the same time affirms the union of subject and predicate and the agreement between its own representation and the objective reality.
Intellect also exhibits itself in the higher form of memory when there is conscious recognition of identity between the present and the past.

 Imam Ali (A.S.) on Intellect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Use your intellect to understand something when you hear about it-the intellect that examines, that is, and not just the intellect that repeats what it hears, for surely there are many who repeat the knowledge that they hear, and there are few who examine it.
The one who has an intellect longs to be like the righteous people so that he can be of one of them, and he loves them so that he can be united with them in his love, even if he falls short in emulating their actions.
The one who has an intellect does not openly display it except in one of two situations: when he is furthest away from seeking something in the world, and when he is furthest away from abandoning it.

 Conflicts of Faith and Intellect
Numerous early brethren apostacized from the Church, claiming a "crisis of intellect" and then later returned and confessed that they had been overcome by their pride, contention or bitterness.
Anyone having a true crisis of intellect will likely have a crisis of patience as well, but needs to be kind and forbearing with assumptions that are all to common and all too often justified.
Less simply, a crisis of intellect may arise when what we think is a doctrine of a church we believe in appears to be contradicted by what we think is a fact.

 Relationship Between Divine Revelation & Human Intellect
An important argument presented to prove the Islamic shari'ah's lack of concern for human intellect is based on the verses which emphasise that the believers should listen to the Prophet (sws) and obey.
The original sources of knowledge on Islam, far from taking the role of opponents of human intellect, are bound with it in a relationship more akin to that of a guide to one who is being guided.
We can conclude from this argument that all the unequivocal verdicts which human intellect gives on the basis of the stimuli it receives from instincts and intuituion are also the directives of nature and as such are part of Divine guidance.

 The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect: Chapter 2
Intellect 39 had for a face only the unblinking eye of its low-resolution TV system, but it had become very clever about using the red status light and focus mechanism to create the illusion of human expressions.
Intellect 39, which was optimized as much as Lawrence could manage for human communication, probably had the combined experiences of a ten-year-old child.
Prime Intellect saw how the proper combination of tunnel diodes could achieve communication over greater distances, and even better it saw how a different combination could create a resonance which would be manifest in the universe by altering the location of a particle or even the entire contents of a volume of space.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is the intellect something in the soul?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
If, therefore, the passive intellect, which is a passive power, is something belonging to the soul; and also the active intellect, which is an active power: it follows that a man would always be able to understand when he wished, which is clearly false.
If the relation of the active intellect to the passive were that of the active object to a power, as, for instance, of the visible in act to the sight; it would follow that we could understand all things instantly, since the active intellect is that which makes all things (in act).
Since the essence of the soul is immaterial, created by the supreme intellect, nothing prevents that power which it derives from the supreme intellect, and whereby it abstracts from matter, flowing from the essence of the soul, in the same way as its other powers.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Does truth reside in the thing, or only in the intellect?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Now there is this difference between the appetite and the intellect, or any knowledge whatsoever, that knowledge is according as the thing known is in the knower, whilst appetite is according as the desirer tends towards the thing desired.
It is related essentially to an intellect on which it depends as regards its essence; but accidentally to an intellect by which it is knowable; even as we may say that a house is related essentially to the intellect of the architect, but accidentally to the intellect upon which it does not depend.
Thus, then, truth resides primarily in the intellect, and secondarily in things according as they are related to the intellect as their principle.

 Gleanings from Orthodox Christian Authors & the Holy Fathers - Intellect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
If you distract your intellect from its love for God and concentrate it, not on God, but on some sensible object, you thereby show that you value the body more than the soul and the things made by God more than God Himself.
Since the Light of Spiritual Knowledge is the intellect's life, and since this Light is engendered by love for God, it is rightly said that nothing is greater than divine love.
An intellect that departs from this state falls into sin and all the terrible consequences of sin- if not immediately, then in due time, as God's justice shall decide.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Can any created intellect see the essence of God?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
But what is supremely knowable in itself, may not be knowable to a particular intellect, on account of the excess of the intelligible object above the intellect; as, for example, the sun, which is supremely visible, cannot be seen by the bat by reason of its excess of light.
For as the ultimate beatitude of man consists in the use of his highest function, which is the operation of his intellect; if we suppose that the created intellect could never see God, it would either never attain to beatitude, or its beatitude would consist in something else beside God; which is opposed to faith.
But if the intellect of the rational creature could not reach so far as to the first cause of things, the natural desire would remain void.

 Intellect Quotations compiled by GIGA
Since it is seldom clear whether intellectual activity denotes a superior mode of being or a vital deficiency, opinion swings between considering intellect a privilege and seeing it as a handicap.
A man is not a wall, whose stones are crushed upon the road; or a pipe, whose fragments are thrown away at a street corner.
Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.

 Be Master of the Mind and Intellect!
And the import of the mantra is a prayer for enlightening and illumining the intellect.
If the intellect retains its independence—it is not caught, held and overcome by the mind—then the independent intellect is able to function as an observer, as a moderator, as a regulator, as a wise counsellor and as a guide.
But if the intellect loses its independence and is overcome and controlled by the mind with its vagaries—various fancies and imaginations and schemes and cravings—then the intellect gradually becomes deficient in its power to be the helpful inner guiding factor to the individual concerned.

 intellect & reason islamic worldview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
It is reported that he said: “Verily, Allah (God) created the intellect from a treasured light, a light concealed within His primordial knowledge -- one that neither a commissioned prophet nor an angel of proximity [to the Divine Throne] was aware of.
He then ascribed to the intellect knowledge as its essence, cognition as its soul, abstemiousness as its head, modesty as its eye, wisdom as its tongue, kindliness as its purpose, and mercy as its heart.
Prophet Muhammad’s narrative exemplifies the primacy that Islam accords the intellect; it constitutes a recognition of the high station of reason in the Islamic worldview.

 The Theology of the Intellect and That of the Feelings, by Charles Hodge
It is a tendency of pietism to undervalue the human intellect for the sake of exalting the affections, as if the reason had fallen deeper than the will It cannot be a pious act to underrate those powers which are given by him who made the soul in his image.
It is not that a proposition is true to the intellect and false to the feelings, or the reverse; but at one time it is true to the intellect and at another false to the same faculty.
The intellect and feelings are not independent, nor is the former the mere interpreter of the latter.

 SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Is there an active intellect?
Therefore, since our intellect is in potentiality to things intelligible, it seems that we cannot say that the intellect is active, but only that it is passive.
And according to this the active intellect is required for understanding, in like manner and for the same reason as light is required for seeing.
And according to this, Aristotle's comparison of the active intellect to light is verified in this, that as it is required for understanding, so is light required for seeing; but not for the same reason.

 Ralph Waldo Emerson's Intellect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Intellect separates the fact considered from _you_, from all local and personal reference, and discerns it as if it existed for its own sake.
The intellect goes out of the individual, floats over its own personality, and regards it as a fact, and not as _I_ and _mine_.
But I cannot recite, even thus rudely, laws of the intellect, without remembering that lofty and sequestered class of men who have been its prophets and oracles, the high-priesthood of the pure reason, the _Trismegisti_, the expounders of the principles of thought from age to age.
