Filosofía
This is, apparently, a term taken from philosopher François Jullien:
Sí. Jullien plantearía que inteligir estratégicamente lo real es inteligirlo como proceso de transformación constante.
Does anyone know how it has been translated from the French? Not many convincing hits for "intelligize"
Thanks

to intelligize
Personally I see no reason not to use this term which is used in philosophy to emphasize the active role of the intellect even if it doesn't get many web hits.
Generally in translating philosophy it is preferable to choose words which stem from the same latin/greek root as the source where such a term exists in the target language-see oxford dictionary entry below
-intelligize
(also intelligise)
verb
Philosophy
1no object To exercise the intelligence or intellect; to think, understand.
2with object To take into the intellect or understanding.
Origin
Early 19th century ; earliest use found in The Edinburgh Review. Either irregularly from classical Latin intellegere or post-classical Latin intellegere to understand + -ize, or perhaps from intellig- + -ize.

to clarify
Inteligible means clearly comprehensive. So inteligir would imply providing a comprehensive clarification.
Strategically clarifying reality is explaining it as a process of constant transformation

intellection, apprehend
I don't think it is a technical term but rather a verb that gives a specific philosophic nuance to the process of understanding. Its use is common in Spanish philosophical writing. The French verb, like the Spanish one, is "intelliger".
My guess is the term was chosen by the author to explain Jullien's thought rather than it being a specific word coined by Jullien.
The English noun "intellection" can be found in philosophical literature.
"Apprehension" can also have a philosophical nuance.

Example sentence:
…the strategic intellection of the real is its intellection as a process…

: I think "apprehend" would be a good option. See Collins's definition of: intelligible (ɪnˈtɛlɪdʒəbəl ) Definitions adjective 1. able to be understood; comprehensible 2. philosophy a. capable of being apprehended by the mind or intellect alone

: Since it refers specifically to intellectual apprehension (and renders Aristotle's νοεῖν), I think "apprehend" is the best verb here. "Intellection" is the right concept but is difficult to work in here.
