Abstract
To determine the essence of the concept of "intelligent", the analysis of the contradiction of concepts "intelligent” and “intellectual" is used, in the course of which the distinctive features of the intelligence are revealed, among which there are the aspirations for constant self-improvement, creativity and cognition, independence of thinking, maturity of decisions, constant enrichment and systematization of the worldview, honor, loyalty to the word, interest in history and culture, a critical look at political and economic processes, often leading to opposition of the intelligent person to the forces, possessing power, tolerance and respect for others, conscientious work, the desire to understand the other, to bring maximal utility. The intelligentsia appears not only being a layer of people engaged in mind activity, but may include manual workers (workers' intelligentsia). In modern conditions, the accelerated pace of life and the growth of competition at the pre-labor stage of personal development, the image of an intellectual rather than an intelligent person may seem more attractive, and priorities can often be shifted towards a quick and easy way of acquiring a popular and highly paid profession. Often this way is seen in the reduction of the breeding and socio- humanitarian compounds of higher education. Moreover, for the authorities it turns out to be less economically expensive. Such an education can provide an intellectual layer, but not the intelligentsia. If we model the future society without the intelligentsia, then we can already predict the dissolution of Ukrainian culture in the world culture and, eventually, its withering away. This process has already been described by M. Mead in her study of the formation of American culture by first migrants from European countries; she marks this derivative culture as "prefigurative", deprived of the authority of older generations and many other traditional values.
