Sinossi
Addressing the topic of public intellectuals in New Zealand, this collection illuminates the rich, complex lives of the thinkers who influence public life even as the public scorns them and their “ivory towers.” New Zealand, a country regarded by some—within and beyond its borders—as anti-intellectual, actually has a strong tradition of so-called “eggheads” who have offered their input to public policy for the betterment of all. The book features interviews from leading intellectuals, including Brian Easton, Jane Kelsey, Marilyn Waring, and the late Michael King, as well as revealing essays from the book’s authors. With its revelations of the people who live the life of the mind, this work gives recognition to an important, if often rejected, group of opinionated thinkers.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Eggheads.the chattering classes.the ivory tower.This is a book about a contentious subject, intellectual life in today's New Zealand. It is organised around the interviews with leading intellectuals such as Jane Kelsey, Brian Easton, Marilyn Waring, Lloyd Geering, Nicky Hager and the late Michael King and is introduced by four essays by Roger Horrocks, Andrew Sharp, Stephen Turner and Laurence Simmons. However much lofty ideas and gritty thinking are the subject of public scorn, these thinkers, writers and teachers have a huge impact on the sort of country we live in, the way we treat each other and how we plan for the future.In their commitment to understanding and improving the social world they have faced hostility, incomprehension and rejection but their lives are rich, complex and dramatic as this book shows. It may annoy, excite, inspire and anger but will also open up a debate and remind readers how little these thinkers are recognised and how important they are. It is beautifully illustrated by John Reynolds. Codice articolo LU-9781869403799
