• Is MIND synonymous with Intellect, Understanding and Thinking?
![Page 9: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• INTELLECT AND UNDERSTANDING SYNONYMOUS WITH MIND.
• When you say Intellect, we mean mind or understanding.
• When we say Understanding, we mean mind or intellect.
![Page 10: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Mind and Intellect are potentialities towards understanding so that it is understanding appears as the resultant factor of the activations of Mind or Intellect.
![Page 11: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• When man uses his mind which means thinking – Man can eventually acquire understanding.

•Now, What makes Understanding synonymous with Mind or Intellect?
![Page 13: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
• The answer lies in the fact that understanding, as the result of man’s activation of mind or intellect.
![Page 14: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
• THINKING IS NOT SYNONYMOUS WITH MIND OR INTELLECT OR UNDERSTANDING.
WHY?
![Page 15: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Because is in itself an activity . It is when man activates mind or intellect that man thinks so that when man thinks man can arrive at understanding.
![Page 16: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Thinking can be construed in threefold perspective–First, it is a mental activity–Second, as a mental activity,
man thinks when man is in control of his mind.
–Third, as man uses or control his mind, he engages in an introspective or subjective empirical activity.

3 fundamentals operation of Thinking• Apprehension• Judgment• Inference
![Page 18: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Apprehension• The mind encounters a reality
and forms of an idea of the reality.
• The mind forms an idea of reality through abstraction
![Page 19: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Judgment• The mind appraises, pronounces
or judges whether the reality is either true or false.
• Judgment can be:– Affirmative judgment– Negative judgment
![Page 20: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Inference• The human mind engages in
reasoning.
• Reasoning- is a process whereby the mind arrives at a reason or inferred judgment.
![Page 21: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
• Reasoning involves three judgments– The two judgments are being
carefully studied whether they correlate with each other or not.
– the third judgment serves as the conclusion or the inferred judgments.

• Man thinks because man wants to unconceal truth.
![Page 23: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
•WHAT IS TRUTH?
![Page 24: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
TRUTH• The conformity between
judgment (intellect) and reality (thing).
![Page 25: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Truth is divided into three:
– Logical truth – Ontological truth– Moral truth
![Page 26: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Logical truth• Conformity of the intellect with a
thing.• The thing serves as the basis to
which the intellect conforms.
![Page 27: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ontological truth• Conformity of the thing with the
intellect.• The intellect which serves as the
basis to which the thing must conform.
![Page 28: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Moral truth• Conformity of speech with the
inner thought.
TRUTH has its contradiction which is FALSITY.
![Page 29: Man: The Thinker](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58aa245c1a28abff6b8b642d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Logical Falsity- disconformity of the intellect with the thing; called ERROR
• Ontological Falsity- disconformity of the thing with the intellect.
• Moral Falsity- disconformity of speech with thought; called LIE
