How do intellectuals engage with and affect their publics? What is
the role of the public intellectual in the new age of political
uncertainties? What challenges face female intellectuals and those
speaking from an ethnic, national or class position? This exciting
collection responds to these questions by offering a broad-ranging
account of the changing role of intellectuals in public life. The
volume opens with provocative essays on the idea and role of the
public intellectual from Alexander, Evans and Zulaika. Chapters
from Rabinbach on intellectuals' responses to totalitarianism,
Outhwaite on what it means to be a European intellectual, and
Auer's discussion of the dissident intellectual in the collapse of
communism lead onto vigorous debate of earlier points discussed
through specific intellectual case studies from Tocqueville to
Hayek. Intellectuals and their Publics will attract a broad
readership interested in the role of the intellectual, with
particular appeal for sociologists, political theorists and
historians of ideas.
