A scholar is said to have critical thinking skills and looks for new unknown aspects of their topic of study. Literary scholars and critics face similar challenges.

2. The meaning of a scholar according to oxford
“advanced learner’s dictionary”
“a scholar is a kind of person who know a lot
about a particular subject because they have
studied it in detail.”
3.
George Whalley
“No true scholar can lack critical acumen;
and the scholar’s eye
is rather like the poet’s – not, to be
sure, in a fine frenzy rolling,”
but at least looking for something as
yet unknown which it knows
it will find, with perceptions heightened
and modified by the act
of looking. For knowing is qualitative
and is profoundly affected
by the reason for wanting to
know..."
5. Dr. Johnson said about scholarship, he said,
“no man-but a blockhead ever wrote, except
for money”
Scholars may value the creature comforts as
highly as do people in any other line of work.
Scholars value the literary research in their
vocation.
