Abstract: The author examines value transformation of intellect and considers
it in close interrelation of intellect with attainable truth. The paper specifies
how intellect determines an object of cognition. The author argues that
during the various periods of history of philosophy types of intellect have
had specific ways of disclosure of the truth, determining priorities of personal
self-identification. It is concluded that value transformation of intellect
(buddhi, zhi, logos, reason, mens, ratio, intellect) is the basis of formation of
modern scientific and technological civilization with its prudent-consumer
attitude towards nature, society and a human. The paper will be of interest
not only to philosophers, but also to all those who are interested in current
problems of human being and cultural development of society.
