Intelligence, Meaning, Egoism: Dangerous Connections
The author of the paper delineates and regards numerous ties, existing between the notions of meaning, intelligence and egoism. He demonstrates and proves the possibility of creating a new big construct under the name of «meaningful intelligence» - analogical to emotional intelligence. At the same time, detection of the connections between egoism and intelligence and, especially, with meaning, can decrease moral connotations, associated with the last two notions. It is also shown, that dual-system and multilevel theory, elaborated by the author, eliminates to a large degree contradictions, existing in modern psychology of intelligence.
