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.

读后感

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...  

本书作者的立场和观点非常明确——就是当知识分子僭越了自身的知识领域后，因其社会影响力，将造成很多不良后果。以下凭记忆重构作者的论证过程并给出笔者个人拙见。 首先是本书中“知识分子”这个概念的论述范围。作者指出，“知识分子”这一概念的核心是“理...  

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...  

1.第一章讲知识分子的定义：理念生产者。这个定义好，是我见过最简洁准确的。 2.第二章讲知识分子的自大为什么错，还是哈耶克那套，个人的专业知识比不上大众的默会知识。 3.第三章批判知识分子不懂经济学，这点批判得对。 4.第四章讲左派的不切实际，对社会的所谓“圣化构想”...  

1.“当你什么都不是时，你可以宣称自己是一位艺术家，因为没有人能够证明你不是。” 2.（与智力相对应的才智）理解和运用复杂理念的能力足以用来定义智力，但是不足以涵盖才智。才智还包括：在选择相关解释因素时、在为任何新出现的理论确立实证检验时的严谨判断，以及这种严谨...
