In 'Intellectuals', Paul Johnson examines the moral and rational foundations from which intellectuals advise humanity. How rigorously do they evaluate the evidence? How do they arrive at their conclusions? How great is their respect for the truth? How do they apply their principles in their personal lives? These questions are addressed through studies of figures such as Rousseau, Shelley, Marx, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Hemingway, Brecht, and Sartre. The result is a series of revealing and incisive portraits of these brilliant and contradictory, magnetic and dangerous personalities.
Paul Bede Johnson was a British journalist, popular historian, speechwriter and author. Although associated with the political left in his early career, he became a popular conservative historian.
