Veteran political commentator, scholar and former editor of The New Statesman Paul Johnson has collected all the nasty, cruel and disgusting episodes in the lives of the mighty dead in order to question their "moral and judgmental credentials to give advice to humanity on how to conduct its affairs."
Intellectuals, according to Johnson, often possess a defining set of characteristic traits; they are lying, cheating, hypocritical, megalomaniacs who combine an abstract love of humanity with an exploitative, selfish and cruel treatment of those who were closest to them. Rousseau, Shelley, Marx, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Hemingway, Bertrand Russell, Brecht, Sartre, Lillian Hellman, Norman Mailer and Kenneth Tynan are put under the spotlight and damned as moral exemplars and truth-tellers while Edmund Wilson, Evelyn Waugh and Orwell provide the necessary foil of intellectual integrity.
This is a voyeuristic, gossip-mongering, ruthless and completely compelling book that leaves a bad taste in the mouth if you consume it at one sitting. Fortunately--since it's a collection of short biographical essays or exposès one can dip in where one likes. Intellectuals is well researched and has the polished concision one might expect from a veteran journalist and scholar. It also has the advantage of dealing with subject matter that is fascinating in itself--the extravagant personalities and spectacular immoralities of some of our most revered figures. Intellectuals doesn't always work as dispassionate intellectual history--for instance the overview of intellectual trends since the 1960s in the final chapter "The Flight of Reason" seems forced--but as a set of exposès it is splendid. --Larry Brown

评分一 人性 约翰逊对这些臭名昭著的知识分子作了一份详细的考察，他们身上固然有知识分子一些特有的毛病：自大、虚荣、漠视他人、自我中心等等，但如果全部视为他们的问题，或者只有他们存在问题，是否有失偏颇？ 约翰逊应该再写一本《大众》或《人性》，与之对照，看看这些臭名...
评分从十七世纪开始，知识分子逐渐脱离对权贵的依附，成为一个新兴的独立阶层。几百年来，对于知识分子的崇拜与质疑从未间断。知识分子一方面作为人类前进的导师，具有任何阶层都不具备的持久而深远的国家影响力乃至世界影响力。他们一面继承“帝王师”的角色，引领社会与历史发展...
评分出自本书最后一段： 我们的探讨现在要结束了，从世俗的知识分子开始取代旧式的神职人员，成为人类的引路人和导师，至今正好是两百年左右。对于那些力图教导人类的知识分子，我们已经查看了他们当中的许多个案，考察了他们是否具有完成这一任务的道德和判断力的资格。我们特别...

评分一言以蔽之，文人=jerk。本书详细地扒了很多人的皮，其实在我看来没多少意思，因为我从来也不怎么买这些人的帐。
