Genius from the Renaissance to 1770: Genius is relevant to the history of ideas in the following meanings: (1) the designation of superior mental powers productive of rare superior performances; or also as the designation of a man possessing these powers; (2) as the peculiar spiritual character of an era, of a nation, of a man; (3) as a special talent for some particular type of performance. The first disignation is basic. Performances considered as products of genius may also belong to politics, warfare, exploration, etc., but such achievements are regarded primarily as 'original intellectual work', as discoveries or inventions, and especially as artistic creations in contrast to imitation. Until the middle of the eighteenth century, these original activities were collectively designated by 'inventio', or equivalents of this term. Their further differentiation (especially of discoveries from inventions) is frequently ignored. During the Renaissance (and later), two different Latin terms were used for genius: 'ingenium' and 'genius'; they seem to have first acquired this meaning in Italy, where corresponding Italian words, 'ingegno' and 'genio', were also used. A fundamental trait of genius is that it is an 'innate' capability, operating with 'spontaneous facility', versus talents which may be taught and learned by diligence; but, nevertheless, it may need diligence for its development and discipline. Whether this capability depends on a unique mental power, or on and assemblage (proportion) of powers, or on a kind of inward revelation, is a further debatable question. At first, 'irrational' traits attributed to genius are considered irrelevant; later they are magnified by the confluence into this idea of the Platonic doctrine of 'furor poeticus' in poetics. Genius, in this respect, is sometimes considered as verging on distraction. Also Platonic is the 'divine' character frequently attributed, metaphorically or not, to genius, because its original work is compared both with God's creation, and with what is considered the result of supernatural inspiration. In fact, while 'ingenium' is intended to mean"inventive intelligence", the Latin term 'genius' (Italian 'genio') in the Renaissance originally refers, metaphorically or not, to a superior spirit inspiring a human being in the traditions of Socrates' demon or in that of astrology (astral spirit). Petrarch and Boccaccio had used 'ingenium' in this sense, but still rather atypically; but Poliziano and Pico stress the element of originality when they use it. Pico also refers to 'genius', as does Erasmus in 1528. Casiglione (1528) only uses 'ingegno'. The Portuguese art theorist Hollanda, a pupil of Michelangelo, stresses (1548) the innate character of genius (Portuguese 'engenho', 'genio'). Alberti, Condivi, and Vasari point out that genius and diligence are different qualities, but that they may be profitibly united; the same connection between genius and memory is asserted by Boccaccio, Alberti, Enea Silvio Piccolomini, Erasmus, Trissino. Scaliger's doctrine of genius (1561), centering on poetics, is peculiarly important. Genius ('ingenium', 'genius') is something divine and innate, associated with enthusiasm (furor poeticus); it belongs to both arts and sciences. Cardano identifies genius with a kind of 'spiritus familiarus'. For Fracastoro and Giovio, genius only means a talent in some particular field (Zilsel, 1926; Thume, 1927). The term 'genius' is used by Adriani (Manuale, 1845) as the spirit of a nation. For Bruno (1585), genius as divine enthusiasm is the origin of the rules of art (Bryne, 1951; Thume, 1927). But seventeenth-century Italian authors, such as Balileo, Torricelli, Magalotti, Salvine, exclude for 'genio' supernatural and enthusiastic traits (Zilsel, 1926). Pellegrini (1650), Tesauro (1654), and Pagano consider 'ingegno' in connection with Beauty. For Vico, 'genio' is the source of inventions (Croce, 1946, Pagano, 1650). Dictionary of the History of Ideas Studies of Selected Pivotal Ideas Charles Scribner's Sons - New York Herrera (1580) identifies "Plato's Genius" (Spanish 'genio) with "Aristotle's active intellect" as a supernatural power of invention. by: Mytheoryous

Roald Amundsen was a member of the Belgian Antarctic Expedition as second mate. This expedition was led by Adrien de Gerlache, using the ship the Belgica, became the first expedition to winter in Antarctica. In 1903 Amundsen led the first expedition to traverse the Northwest Passage between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, with six others in the ship During this time Amundsen studied the local Netsilik people in order to learn Arctic survival skills and soon adopted their dress. From them he learned to use sled dogs. After crossing the Northwest Passage, Amundsen made plans to go to the North Pole and explore the North Polar Basin. On hearing in 1909 that first Frederick Cook and then Robert Peary claimed the Pole, he changed his plans. Using Fridtjof Nansen's ship Fram he instead set out for Antarctica in 1910. He probably didn't want to alert Robert Falcon Scott that he would have a competitor for the pole, though Scott later said that Amundsen's presence had no effect on his own plans for the Pole. Since the original plan called for going around the Horn to the Bering Strait he waited until Fram reached Madeira to let his crew know of the change. Every member agreed to continue. On 14 January 1911 they arrived at the eastern edge of Ross Ice Shelf at the location known as the Bay of Whales. Amundsen located his base camp there and named it Framheim It was 60 statute miles (96 km) closer to the Pole than McMurdo Sound, where the rival British expedition led by Scott stayed. During February, March and early April, Amundsen and his men laid supply depots along a line direct to the Pole. This gave him some experience of conditions on the Ross Ice Shelf and provided crucial testing of their equipment. During the winter at Framheim, they kept busy improving their equipment, particularly the sledges. Scot had brought ponies with him which were unsuitable for the job. The Pole team, Bjaaland, Hanssen, Hassel, Wisting and Amundsen, departed on 19 October 1911. They took four sledges and 52 dogs. The ascent to the Antarctic Plateau, along the Axel Heiberg Glacier, was easier than they had expected. They arrived at the edge of the Polar Plateau on November 21. Here they camped at the place they named "Butcher Shop", where 24 of the remaining dogs were killed. Some of the carcasses were fed to the dogs, the balance was cached for the return journey. Blizzards and poor weather made progress slow as they crossed the "Devil's Ballroom", a heavily crevassed area. On 14 December 1911, the team of five, with 16 dogs, arrived at the Pole. They had arrived 35 days before Scott's group. Amundsen named their South Pole camp Polheim, They left a small tent and letter stating their accomplishment, in the event they did not return safely to Framheim. Where as Amundsen could mail his king that he has discovered the South Pole. Scott last words in his diary before he died in the snow were: beware for our natives.
