In the first (English) edition of this book, Furedi demonstrated how the intellectual has become an endangered species. The implications of this phenomenon are that individuals like Bertrand Russell, Raymond Williams, or Hannah Arendt-people with genuine knowledge, broad vision, and a concern for public issues-have been replaced by superficial spokespeople, think-tank apologists, and specialists in the production of news and television images.
Reactions to Furedi's views have been immediate and mixed. Reviewers from diverse political backgrounds, such as Roger Scruton and Terry Eagleton, have generally welcomed the book. Other writers, such as Noel Malcolm and David Aaronovitch, have been more hostile.
What no one has done is ignore the book; there is a consensus that this is indeed an important book and is well on its way to becoming a contemporary classic. In this new edition, Frank Furedi keeps the debate about the role of intellectuals in our society alive with a frank and bold response to his critics.
