Author: Frank Furedi 16687, Professor Frank Furedi
Title: Where Have All the Intellectuals Gone?
Description: Continuum, 2004. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 167. The intellectual is an endangered species. In place of such figures as Bertrand Russell, Raymond Williams or Hannah Arendt - people with genuine learning, breadth of vision and a concern for public issues - we now have only facile pundits, think-tank apologists, and spin doctors. In the age of the knowledge economy, we have somehow managed to combine the widest ever participation in higher education with the most dumbed-down of cultures. In this urgent and passionate book, Frank Furedi explains the essential contribution of intellectuals both to culture and to democracy - and why we need to recreate a public sphere in which intellectuals and the general public can talk to each other again. ISBN: 9780826467690. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
