Bag om Intellectuals in Politics and Academia

This book addresses the fate of intellectuals in modern culture and politics. Russell Jacoby¿s seminal The Last Intellectuals: American Culture in the Age of Academe (1987, 2000) introduced the term ¿public intellectual¿ and gave rise to heated controversy. Here Jacoby assesses contemporary public intellectuals, their profound failings and limited achievements. The book includes biting appraisals of well-known intellectuals, such as Noam Chomsky, Hannah Arendt, and Bernard-Henri Lévy, as well as interventions on violence, utopia and multiculturalism.
