"Proteus: or, The future of intelligence" by Vernon Lee is a philosophical treatise written in the early 20th century. It explores the evolving nature of human intelligence and its implications, emphasizing the relationship between our understanding of reality and our moral and ethical frameworks. The author uses the mythological figure Proteus, symbolizing constant change and adaptability, as a metaphor for the fluid nature of intelligence and reality. In this work, Vernon Lee delves into various aspects of intelligence, including its ethical, aesthetic, and intellectual dimensions. He argues that intelligence is not merely the domain of specialists but is a broader human capacity that can lead to societal progress. The book discusses how intelligence shapes morality and artistic expression, proposing that as society becomes more intellectually aware, it will naturally re-evaluate its ethical standards and aesthetic values. Lee posits that the future will see a shift towards a more nuanced understanding of morality, where human needs and communal well-being take precedence over outdated moral dogmas, and highlights the necessity of adaptability in the face of change. Through his examination, Lee encourages readers to embrace a flexible and open-minded approach to intelligence as humanity navigates its future.
