The Cognitive Science of Meaning Making

Cognitive science is the discipline that it's trying to bring about synoptic integration. Meaning isn't something we're imposing willfully on the world, which is a mistake from our history. The faculty in us that is supposed to be our core cognitive capacity and being able to adaptively respond to the world goes all the way back to the Greek heritage. Intelligence is the capacity that makes you a cognitive agent whose cognition is working with meaning.
