Abstract
For too long now the very notion of a public intellectual relies on a missionary model, of going out to the masses with a view to enlightening them. The essay analyzes past and present praxis which would abolish this approach altogether, based on close readings of the experiences of the New York Intellectuals and the Forest-Johnson Tendency.
