Description & Specifications

This provocative book chronicles the disappearance of the public intellectual in the U.S. For over forty years, the cultural landscape has been dominated by intellectuals who wrote in a language accessible to the educated reader and addressed themselves to this audience.

In contrast, the younger intellectuals who succeeded them write in an obscure manner because they target a different audience: academics. Unlike their predecessors, who lived in the bohemian environment of the metropolis and wrote for an educated public, today’s thinkers have burrowed into universities, where securing a position seems far superior to the pursuit of intellectual inquiry.

In a penetrating and passionate critique, the author examines how aristocratization, suburbanization, and academic careerism have undermined the vitality of intellectual life in the U.S.
