Thomas Sowell has taught economics at Cornell, UCLA, Amherst, and other academic institutions, and his Basic Economics has been translated into six languages. He is currently a scholar in residence at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He has published in both academic journals and in such popular media as the Wall Street Journal, Forbes magazine, and Fortune, and he writes a syndicated column that appears in newspapers across the country.
This much revised and reorganized edition of Intellectuals and Society is more than half again larger than the first edition. Four new chapters have been added on intellectuals and race, including a chapter on race and intelligence.
These new chapters show the radically different views of race prevailing among the intelligentsia at the beginning of the twentieth century and at the end-- and yet how each of these opposite views of race had the same dogmatic quality and the same refusal to countenance differing opinions among their contemporaries, much less engage dissenting opinions in serious debate. Moreover, each of these very different views of race produced flourishes of rhetoric and travesties of logic, leading to dire social consequences, though of very different sorts in the two eras.
Other additions to this edition include a critique of John Rawls' conception or justice and a re-examination of the so-called "trickle-down theory" behind "tax cuts for the rich." There are other revisions, from the preface to the final chapter, the latter being extensively rewritten to bring together and highlight the themes of the other chapters, and to make unmistakably clear what Intellectuals and Society is, and is not, seeking to do.

评分这本书以决绝的态度作了一番知识阶层彻头彻尾的“自我拆台”。作者描述知识分子从社会生活的各个领域,总是超出自己专精的领域,发挥自以为高明的见解,往往轻视贬低大众经验和鲜明的事实,罔顾系统性的因果关系,运用修辞技巧为自己进行合理化变化,并且通过舆论影响政策决策...
评分摘要:《知识分子与社会》以20世纪西方特别是美国社会知识分子为对象,详述了他们在社会发展与变迁中的导向作用及产生的重大影响。作者将知识分子定义为给政策制定者带来巨大影响的“理念工作者”。但鉴于他们并不为自己所制造的舆论负责,作者将他们在职业道德上的缺陷概括为...
评分刘瑜:把世界搞得一团糟的糊涂蛋 “知识分子”是什么?在中国,很多对此问题有过思考的人恐怕都会表达一个这样的观点:知识分子不仅仅是掌握了特定领域知识的专家,而且应该有强烈的社会责任感。担当、良知、使命感、“为老百姓说话”此类词汇作为对知识分子的伦理要求,经常出...
