The Public Intellectual
The Public Intellectual
This volume responds to recent concerns about the decline of public intellectual life, particularly in Britain and America. Thinkers discuss what the role of writers and intellectuals should be in today's society, how thought can be publicly expressed, and how it relates to action.
New essays by prestigious thinkers such as Edward Said, Bruce Robbins, Jacqueline Rose, and Stefan Collini explore the public role of writers and intellectuals.
The Public Intellectual offers insightful analyses and discussions, considering the impact and responsibilities that intellectuals hold in society. This collection provides a rich dialogue on the influence and presence of public intellectuals in various cultural and political contexts.
