ABSTRACT

Intelligence is a topic more written about by psychologists than philosophers. In philosophical works we can find discussions of consciousness, perception and sensation, thought, action, memory, emotion, and imagination, but rarely anything on intelligence (unless it is on the technical topic of ‘artificial intelligence’). Psychologists, though-many of them at least-cannot keep off the topic. It is a staple in every two-kilo textbook of psychology found in public and university libraries across the world.
