Abstract: The concept of intellectual equality and the essence of education discussed today are not only a philosophical theoretical issue,but also involve the practical issues in educational practice.We need to pay special attention to the deviation between the concept of intellectual equality and the understanding of equality requirements in educational practice in the modern society.Strengthening intellectual equality does have strong appeal and natural justification,but more attention should be paid to how social factors are alienated and become reasons for intellectual inequality,as well as how social power factors are distorted and deviate from the original intention of education.We hope to reflect on current educational concepts and certain practical educational issues through a critique of the duality of the principle of intellectual equality and a philosophical analysis of the formation of intelligence corresponding to the path of natural and life evolution.

Key words: intellectual equality, nature, life process, education, philosophy
