Capitolo 55
The Mr. Locke has an admirable reflection on the difference of the intelligence and
you judge, from what him endeavours to show the reason because they is not
always the talents of the same person. Its words are as follows:-
"And from now you/he/she can perhaps be given some reason for that terrestrial for common ownership,
observation, 'That men that have the a lot of intelligence and suggestion
memoirs, are not always the clearest judgment or deeper right.'
For intelligence that lies the most greater part in the assemblage of the ideas, and putting those
together with rapidity and variety where some can be found
similarity or the congruence, with this to do on pleasant portraits and
visions of accorde in the desire: you judge, on the contrary one, lies
entirely on the other side, in to attentively separate one from another,
ideas where least difference can be found, with this to avoid
being misguided by similitude, and from affinity to take a thing for
another. This is a way of proceeding rather contrary to metaphor and
allusion, where, to a large extent, lies that the fun and
the cheerfulness of intelligence that strikes so vivacious on the desire, and it is
therefore so acceptable to all the people."
This is, I think, the best and the most greater part of philosophical account that me
you/he/she has ever met with some intelligence that generally, although not always,
it consists in such similarity and the congruence of the ideas as this author
mentions. I will only add to him from way of explanation that each,
similarity of the ideas is not that that we call the intelligence, unless it is
such one who gives delight and it surprises to the reader. These
two ownerships seem essential to the intelligence, more particularly the last of
them. In order, therefore that the similarity in the ideas is
intelligence, is necessary that ideas should not lie too nearby one
another in the nature of things; for, where the similarity is obvious,
it doesn't give surprise. To compare a man is singing to that of
another, or to represent the whiteness of some object from that of milk
