Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how intellect appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
[…] [Aristote] sait que l’homme n’est pas un animal comme les autres. Animal raisonnable, l’être humain semble posséder en soi plus que la forme de son corps ; il y a dans l’âme humaine un principe d’opérations indépendant du corps dans son exercice et par conséquent supérieur à ce que serait une simple forme substantielle, c’est l’intellect.
