This book addresses the ways in which the figure of the
intellectuals and their relationship to the public has been
theorized through the conceptualizations of bureaucracy, democracy,
and communism as universal processes from the 19th century to the
present. Starting with Hegel and Marx, the author looks at the rise
of the figure of the universal intellectual in various forms,
before turning to what is presented as a transformation of the
figure of the intellectual into 'the public intellectual' advanced
by the New Philosophies and the critical response offered by Edward
Said. The study presents two comparative case studies: the Iranian
Revolution and the public intellectuals in Europe, specifically in
Norway, before concluding with a focus on the decay of the figure
of the intellectuals and highlighting Ranciere's critique of the
intellectual/masses distinction.
