5th Stupidity and intelligence
over stupidity can write a lot clever. This includes but not to present them as opposed to intelligence. Stupidity is no more a contrast to intelligence as intelligence is unrelated to the individual and social need position on anything, write on the subject is worthwhile. Whatever of substance is on 'intelligence' attempts to find out - you will always ultimately have to make a reference to the requirements of the economic and cultural conditions under which the respective individual 'intelligence' must prove, and this one will come to the same result, as Joseph Jacotot (4.03.1770-30.07.1840), whose life and work of Jacques Rancière in his book "The ignorant teacher" describes. Jacotot was that we develop the intelligence, claim the needs and circumstances of our existence from us: "Where ends the need to rest from the intelligence, but a stronger will be procured ear and says: Go on ... "(See Jacques Ranciere, The ignorant master five lessons about intellectual emancipation, Vienna 2007, p. 66.)
succinctly summarized in the formula:" The . Man is a will, which is an intelligence "(Ranciere, 2007, p.66) - we have here again the connection between mind and heart of reflection and / or naivete. This ratio determination of individual Judgement, the concept of "stupidity" to search for anything.
why it surprised me very much that I at just Plessner, whose sharp, sophisticated and unbiased view of human nature I guess so much and admire, in a rather - come across, oblique 'relation of stupidity and intelligence - I think. For example, with "laughter and tears," that "the stupidity of much laugh more (prone) than the intelligence, "and justified this with the narrowness of the horizon of the" stupid "because:" The closer to the horizon, the poorer the possibilities of understanding, the more rapidly on the border of absurdity and ambivalence " , then to laugh. (See, laughing / crying, p.121)
In this curious set of horizon structure, stupidity and intelligence Plessner contradicts everything he wrote before and afterwards on laughter. Although he was fine with a precise feeling of the life-world theorists used, whom he accuses of avoiding the mind-body problem "by an allegedly still in trouble, original Layer of existence and the existence of "retreat (see laughing / crying, p.39) and therefore can not comprehend that draws the line between familiarity and strangeness through the middle of the living world, he says in relation to the folly of the narrowness of horizon! Laughter is Plessner's own analysis suggests that first of all a loss of control in the familiar conditions of life from the inside by pulling line between familiarity and strangeness, a loss of control both over their own bodies and about the situation regarding, the physical reactions in the laughter and tears the situation regarding to acknowledge 'that can let go of his unanswerable.
If one were talking seriously of 'stupidity', one would not therefore belong to approximately the horizon structure, which can ultimately be only the horizon structure of a living world that has a horizon with laughter and tears not the least to do, but this mechanism of letting go. However, this requires first of all of naivety. For to let go laugh in the face of the breaking up in the middle of seemingly familiar (and not from a limited and limiting horizon ago dawning) Aliens control and, we need simplicity, again trusting that it will go well with the laughter.
Indeed, when us gets the laugh of the evil? - When we let us not just us and the situation we are facing helpless, but if we can laugh at someone in the lurch, which is also a form of letting go, just not good. For it in the laughter there's always the danger to others (and thus also himself) to be failing - to laugh at him. This tendency, however, the 'intelligence' as well as that stupid '. Stupidity and intelligence are just not mutually exclusive! They wear the same weakness in himself: to give up the check does not want to uphold the position at any price to do even at the expense of others. Let go and let you down close to each other. Let us go, so it is naive, We have someone in the lurch, it is folly, not least because stupid let themselves down.
So it's just as Jacotot writes: ". Man is a will, which is an intelligence" - where the will will be respected, even if the circumstances deny him his performance, he is the intelligence to serve there as well try, with what consequences whatsoever. But otherwise is stupidity.
