'Thinking in Public' examines the ambivalence these linked ideas provoked in the generation of European Jewish thinkers born around 1900. By comparing the lives and works of Hannah Arendt, Emmanuel Levinas, and Leo Strauss, who grew up in the wake of the Dreyfus Affair and studied with the philosopher-and sometime National Socialist-Martin Heidegger, Benjamin Aldes Wurgaft offers a strikingly new perspective on the relationship between philosophers and politics. Rather than celebrate or condemn the figure of the intellectual, Wurgaft argues that the stories we tell about intellectuals and their publics are useful barometers of our political hopes and fears. What ideas about philosophy itself, and about the public's capacity for reasoned discussion, are contained in these stories? And what work do we think philosophers and other thinkers can and should accomplish in the world beyond the classroom?"--Book jacket. 600 10 $a Strauss, Leo $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a L婉vinas, Emmanuel $x Political and social views. 600 10 $a Arendt, Hannah, $d 1906-1975 $x Political and social views. 650 0 $a Intellectuals $x History. $z 20th century $z 20th century $x History. 650 0 $a Philosophy, German $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Philosophy $x Political aspects. 650 0 $a Political science $x Philosophy. 651 0 $a Germany $x Intellectual life $y 20th century. 830 0 $a Intellectual history of the modern age. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214014722.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826044408.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=07A377B86B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
