Idolii Forului - de Ce O Clasa de Mijloc a Spiritului E de Preferat "Elitei" Intelectualilor Publici (Romanian, Paperback)

Idolii forului este raspunsul colectiv al unui numar de specialisti in domeniile social, politic, literar si filosofic la doua intrebari fundamentale despre societatea in care traim. Prima intrebare este daca ideea de intelectual public, enciclopedic, fara o specializare data, este perimata? Cea de-a doua este daca fascinatia publica fata de ideea de intelectual "enciclopedic" amator poate amana, intr-o masura, remodernizarea estului Europei si al Romaniei? Volumul este produsul colaborarii a 15 specialisti din domeniile social, politic, literar, jurnalistic si filozofic. Volumul reprezinta si o premiera tehnologica. El ofera coduri 2d (sau QR), care leaga textul de situl http: //idolii.com Coauthored by 15 Romanian authors, the book critically discusses the cultural models adopted by Romanian and Eastern European public intellectuals after 1989. They scrutinize the claim of intellectual "elites" to represent a special, encyclopedic "vocation," which should be treated with deference by the rest of society because of its lack of specialization. The book also discusses the "paramodern" thinking that informs this type of intellectual discourse, which combines modern with traditional and at times anti-modern ideological themes. Special attention is dedicated to modernizing social discourse and to the need to include in social debates more voices, from all social strata and intellectual groups. Each chapter of the book has a 2d code which linkes to a web site, http: //idolii.com .
