Ernest Gellner made major contributions in very diverse fields,
notably philosophy and social anthropology. His attacks on the
orthodoxies of his time made it difficult for him to be fully
accepted into either of these academic communities, but that suited
him well enough: he seemed to enjoy leading a one-man crusade for
critical rationalism, defending enlightenment universalism against
the rising tides of idealism and relativism. His influence spread
far beyond social anthropology: the fierce tone of the polemics of
the 1950s against Oxford philosophers was repeated during the 1990s
in tangles in the TLS with the literary critic Edward Said. For
Gellner the issues were essentially the same: the vital need to
refute the claim that ideas lead the world.
