"Intellect" is thus distinguished from "[[intelligence]]" by the field of its operations, "intelligence" being used in the practical sphere for readiness to grasp a situation. (the word as a synonym for "news" is journalese) In [[philosophy]] the "intellect" is contrasted with the senses and the will; it sifts and combines sense-given data, which otherwise would be only momentary, lasting practically only as long as the stimuli continued to operate.

It thus includes the cognitive processes, and is the source of all real [[knowledge]]. Various attempts have been made to narrow the use of the term, e.g. to the higher regions of knowledge entirely above the region of sense, or to conceptual processes; but no agreement has been reached. "Intellection" (i.e. the process as opposed to the capacity) has similarly been narrowed to the sphere of concepts; others, however, give it a much wider meaning.
