Intellectuals have been involved with politics whether they have wished or not throughout this turbulent century. In this seminar we will grapple with different social theories about modern intellectuals, their political and ethnical responsibility, and their production. We will also consider ways of doing intellectual history and practice doing intellectual history in written assignments. We will also do case studies, examining the role of intellectuals in several settings during periods of political crises and conflict such as revolution, Nazism, communism, the Cold War.
