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 Levy, as well as interventions on
violence, utopia and multiculturalism.
