Product Description
From Amazon
When Francis Fukuyama declared that the fall of the Berlin Wall meant the end of history, what he really seemed to mean was that it was the end of the radical intellectual--what is there to protest if the world is a benign democracy of green lawns and barbecues? Through interviews with some of America's and Europe's leading, and most radical, left-leaning intellectuals, Peter Osborne demonstrates that as long as there are institutionalized inequities, the place of the radical intellectual is assured. These men and women are astute thinkers, and their insights into the underlying problems that plague modern society are insightful and edifying, regardless of one's own political leanings.
Review
Rigorous almost to the point of impertinence, these interviews hold fashionable thought to the highest standard. We watch as these thinkers earn their celebrity, and thus we can see that they are sexier as thinkers, finally, than they are as celebrities.
