Intelligence: The Creative Response to Now
- Osho challenges the idea that the best way to promote intelligence is to train the intellect. Intellect is logical, he says, intelligence is paradoxical. Intellect takes things apart to see how they work; intelligence puts things together to see the functioning of the whole. When our education systems put too much emphasis on developing intellect, an imbalance is created and both the individual and the society suffer. It is only through intelligence that we can respond creatively to the challenges of a changing world. By exploring the distinctions between intellect and intelligence, the book encourages readers to be more aware of how they approach problems - logical, emotional, and practical - and how they resolve them.
