Summary The intellectual is an endangered species and we now seem to only have facile pundits, think tank apologists and spin doctors. In this urgent and passionate book Frank Furedi explains the essential contribution of intellectuals both to culture and to democracy and why we need to recreate a public sphere in which intellectuals and the general public can talk to each other again
