This book addresses the fate of intellectuals in modern culture and politics. Russell Jacoby seminal The Last Intellectuals: American Culture in the Age of Academe (1987, 2000) introduced the term â€œpublic intellectualâ€? 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 LÃ©vy, as well as interventions on violence, utopia and multiculturalism.
