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Thomas Sowell在本书里主要是批评知识分子的自大、愚蠢和自私。关于知识分子,他是说工作以观念为对象的那些人,也就把医生、工程师、程序员这类排除掉,同时把记者、教师和作家包括进来。但是,可以看到,Sowell自己不仅写了书,还是个专栏作家,比一般知识分子还多了“公共”...

评分断断续续看完Thomas Sowell的大作《知识分子与社会》,心里愈发茫然。 从小到大一直对作为社会良心的知识分子敬佩有加,从心里喜欢严复,陈独秀,胡适,瞿秋白等近代中囯历史人物,可也一直不理解为什么他们改良中国的理论难以践行。 在Thomas看来,知识分子最鲜明的特质在于圣...
