Synopsis

This book sees international academics from across five continents come together to critique the role of the present-day intellectual.

Arguing that the elitization of the social sciences and humanities has reached a major climax in the 21st century, owing to the commercialisation of knowledge and the advent of the capitalist model, it asks how intellectuals can free themselves of the ideological labyrinth in which they now find themselves, and reshape the contributions of the social sciences and humanities as adequate tools for the needs of our time. The international academy has the aim and the responsibility to look at, criticise, and work against the dominant logic and to allow knowledge and international debates to reach the farthest corners of the globe. Intellectuals from different areas of the social sciences and humanities offer unique insights along this theme to offer critical analysis and reflection on our current situation, asking: what are now the duties and responsibility of intellectuals?

Bringing together relevant and influential voices from diverse perspectives, it will appeal to scholars, intellectuals, and postgraduate students interested in social and political theory, social and political philosophy, epistemology, social class, neoliberalism, and academia.
