    So, for you, the examined life, then?Janus

    Yes.

    The unexamined life being confusing...and...not worth living?Janus

    Yes

    Intelligence being the ability to effectively and productively examine your life (and the lives of others?)? (While appearing not to?)Janus

    Yes, without the last part about appearing not to.

    To me this sounds like you favour an enactive philosophy of life, and an active life, rather than a merely contemplative one.Janus

    Pretty much. What's the difference?

    And you prefer to think in terms of subjective experience, than analyze and understand your life (and human life) in objective (scientific) terms?Janus

    What makes you think that?

    philosophy as a way of lifeShawn

    The human intellect is limited. And there is more dimensions to us then rationality.

    The more you try and reduce all of life to the intellect the more you will fail to succeed at it.
