The Political Responsibility of Intellectuals addresses the many
problems in defining the relationship of intellectuals to the
society in which they live. In what respects are they responsible
for, and to, that society? Should they seek to act as independent
arbiters of the values explicitly or implicity espoused by those
around them? Should they seek to advise those in public life about
the way in which they should act, or should they withdraw from any
form of political involvement? And how should their preoccupations
with truth and language find practical expression? The contributors
to this volume seek to provide tentative answers to these
questions. They come from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging
from economics to linguistics and sociology to philosophy, and are
drawn from both America and Eastern and Western Europe. The volume
is given a particular interest by recent political upheavals in
Eastern Europe, where many intellectuals have been confronted with
sharply practical, sometimes dramatic, choices about their role in
the political arena.
