In an intellectual manner.

Word Origin Intellectual comes from Latin intellectus 'understanding,' literally 'choosing between' — inter- 'between' + legere 'to pick, read.' So intellectually means 'in a way that involves the mind's picking and choosing.' The root legere gives us intelligent, legible, lecture, collect, elect, and select. The breakdown intellectual+ly is simple.
