Political Responsibility of Intellectuals - Ian Maclean - Paperback

The Political Responsibility of Intellectuals addresses the many problems in defining the relationship of intellectuals to the society in which they live. The contributors to this volume seek to provide tentative answers to these questions. They come from a wide variety of disciplines, ranging from economics to linguistics and sociology to philosophy, and are drawn from both America and Eastern and Western Europe. The volume is given a particular interest by recent political upheavals in Eastern Europe, where many intellectuals have been confronted with sharply practical, sometimes dramatic, choices about their role in the political arena.Maclean, Ian is the author of 'Political Responsibility of Intellectuals - Ian Maclean - Paperback' with ISBN 9780521398596 and ISBN 0521398592.
