Analysis
Analysis is the process of breaking a complex topic or substance into smaller parts in order to gain a better understanding of it. The technique has been applied in the study of mathematics and logic since before Aristotle (384–322 B.C.), though analysis as a formal concept is a relatively recent development.
Intellectual
An intellectual is a person who engages in critical thinking, research, and reflection about society and proposes solutions for its normative problems. Some gain authority as public intellectuals. Coming from the world of culture, either as a creator or as a mediator, the intellectual participates in politics either to defend a concrete proposition or to denounce an injustice, usually by rejecting, producing or extending an ideology, and by defending a system of values.
Intervention
Intervention may refer to:
Intellectual
No people has ever despised and distrusted the intellect and intellectuals more than the British.
Leonard Woolf, "G.E. Moore", Encounter magazine, January 1959, quoted in Richard Hofstadter, Anti-Intellectualism In American Life, New York : Knopf, 1963. (p. 20).
Intellectual
Ask a wise man to dinner and he'll upset everyone by his gloomy silence or tiresome questions. Invite him to a dance and you'll have a camel prancing about. Haul him off to a public entertainment and his face will be enough to spoil the people's entertainment.
Desiderius Erasmus, Praise of Folly
Intellectual
There's always something suspect about an intellectual on the winning side.
Vaclav Havel, Disturbing the Peace (1986)
