評分For the secular intellectual, those gods always fail.
評分Such a powerful account on the meaning and role of intellectual. Intellectuals are resistant, often marginalized, and pursue what is just and right that arises from their deepest convictions. This book is worth multiple readings, very incisive and thought provoking.

Edward Said is well known for speaking his mind on controversial issues. In this brief lecture series, he goes beyond speaking up for a cause or a social group to defend the act of speaking up itself. Hence the double significance of the title, Representations of the Intellectual: In representing an idea to the public, the intellectual also represents an image of what it means to be an intellectual. Positioning himself against the "expert" who provides "'objective' advice for pay" (to a government, corporation, or the media), Said articulates a vision of the intellectual "as exile and marginal, as amateur, and as the author of a language that tries to speak truth to power," by "bearing witness" to forgotten, ignored, or suppressed stories. Appreciating the postmodern anxieties that may arise from his bold claims about universal moral principles and the neat separation of truth from power, Said honestly confronts the problem of objectivity. He illustrates his idea of the intellectual with historical, literary, and personal examples, candidly confiding his heroes and villains, and revealing the beliefs and passions behind his own life's work.

In this series of essays, based on his 1993 Reith Lectures, Edward Said explores what it means to be an intellectual today. It is, he argues, the intellectual's role to represent a message or view not only to, but for, a public, and to do so as an outsider - someone who cannot be co-opted by a government or corporation. Interweaving literature, history and philosophy, Said describes and demonstrates how the intellectual must remain a dissenter, never putting solidarity before criticism, and speak from the margins for both the people and the issues which are routinely forgotten or ignored.
