Quote by Daniel Bell
The intellectual takes as a starting point his self and relates the world to his own sensibilities the scientist accepts an existing field of knowledge and seeks to map out the unexplored terrain.
Summary
This quote highlights the contrasting approaches of an intellectual and a scientist. The intellectual begins with their own experiences, emotions, and perspectives and then interprets the world around them based on these subjective sensibilities. On the other hand, the scientist starts with the established body of knowledge in a particular field and strives to discover and explore new territories within it. While the intellectual's viewpoint is influenced by personal biases, the scientist's perspective is grounded in objectivity and a systematic exploration of the unknown.
