-in ‘ancient rome’, a “genius” was the ‘guiding deity’ of a [‘person’ / ‘family’ / ‘place’]-
.
(a genius is a person who displays…)
‘exceptional intellectual ability’
‘creative productivity’
‘universality in genres’
‘originality’
(…typically to a degree that is associated with the achievement of new advances in a domain of ‘knowledge’)
.
(despite the presence of scholars in many subjects throughout history, many geniuses have shown high achievements in only a single kind of activity)
(there is no scientifically precise definition of a ‘genius’, and the question of whether the notion itself has any real meaning has long been a subject of debate, although psychologists are converging on a definition that emphasizes ‘creativity’ + ‘eminent achievement’)
(usually, ‘genius’ is associated with ‘talent’, but many authors (for example ‘cesare lombroso’ + ‘arthur schopenhauer’) systematically distinguish these terms)
