Textausschnitt: 9.5 Normativeness of Human Intelligence and Reason

264a Fifthly, Greek, Renaissance, and subsequent normative accounts of truth, science, and method are not just artificial ideals floating on popular obscurity. It is true that they are nonphilosophic, or inadequate philosophic expositions. But they really are expressions, clarifications, objectifications of the immanent normativeness of the human intellect, of our participatio creata lucis increatae. In other words, human intelligence and human reasonableness intrinsically involve norms. There are things that are intelligent and stupid, there are things that are reasonable and silly, and there is that ultimate normativeness in our intellect that comes to us from God, the lumen intellectus nostri that is a participatio creata lucis increatae. This aspect of human intelligence comes to light, not at all perfectly but to a notable extent, in Heidegger's notion of Erschlossenheit, openness, what the French call ouverture. the openness of mind, which is the orientation of mind to Being in tota sua latitudine.
