At present almost the only really scientific observation on the subject from its political side is contained in Lord Palmerston's protest against a purely intellectual account of aristocracy: 'there is no damned nonsense about merit, he said, 'in the case of the Garter. Makers of new aristocracies are still, however, apt to intellectualise.
To my great regret I can state nothing very clear regarding these problems. The attempt to intellectualise all psychical problems is infinitely interesting, and leads to a fairly clear conception, by which everything is explained by a mechanism reflected in a mirror, which is the consciousness.
The positive influences of the scientific age in which he lived upon Browning's work were chiefly these first it tended to intellectualise his instincts, compelling him to justify them by a definite theory; and secondly it co-operated with his tendency towards realism as a student of the facts of human nature; it urged him towards research in his psychology of the passions; it supported him in his curious inquisition of the phenomena of the world of mind.
"I'm glad to see you go," said the ploughmaker briefly. "I'm glad to be going," said McGregor, understanding that there was nothing but relief and honest antagonism in the voice and in the mind of David Ormsby. The Marching Men Movement was never a thing to intellectualise. For years McGregor tried to get it under way by talking. He did not succeed.

In Macaulay's time he used to be guided by his 'common-sense, and to intellectualise the whole process.
William James, Principles of Psychology, vol. ii. p. 392: 'The whole story of our dealings with the lower wild animals is the history of our taking advantage of the ways in which they judge of everything by its mere label, as it were, so as to ensnare or kill them. At this point it is already difficult not to intellectualise the whole process.
The politician, however, is still apt to intellectualise impulse as completely as the schoolmaster did fifty years ago.
