Anxious Intellects

Academic Professionals, Public Intellectuals, and Enlightenment Values

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

""Anxious Intellects" introduces fresh material and a generally new tone into the discussion of the quarrels now familiarly known as the culture wars. Readers will welcome its efforts to disabuse parties on both sides of some of their more comforting fantasies about intellectual labor and to move the debate about intellectuals and politics onto more fruitful terrain."--Ellen Rooney, Brown University
