Intellectualism involves exercising the intellect to think and discuss issues based on reason rather than emotion. I add that even popular or prevalent notions should not weigh on it.
I treat intellectualism as a social ethos here; a general spirit imbuing public discourses and activities. In addition, it must be oriented to realise and discover the reality's connectedness; i.e. to a systemic vision.
Intellectualism is a critical factor that determines the goodness of the social state and its betterment. A nation's ability to hold its fair position and negotiate with the world on favourable terms primarily depends on its intellectual strength.
The quality and effectiveness of intellectualism in a community require an elaborate and intricate mechanism. Maintaining and updating this critical subsystem of the political system is a conscious intellectual exercise with mindful and ample investments. Imitated or imported intellectual schemas may lead to a surge but not sustain any programme. Only rooted intellectualism serves its purpose.
The very consciousness of the same is a critical necessity.
