Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain the concept of the intellectual, relay history, types, roles and critiques from sociology and history of ideas sources with positions attributed, describe the Brecht Tui concept and flag the misfiled religious office, and distinguish intellectuals from academics, experts, philosophers as a discipline and clergy.

A person who engages in critical thinking, research and reflection about society and ideas and seeks to influence public discussion, with the modern collective noun associated with the Dreyfus affair in France in 1898, and forms such as public intellectuals and dissident intellectuals; Bertolt Brecht satirised intellectuals who sell opinions as Tuis, which the registry alias names, while the alias Mufti of the Republic of Tunisia names a religious office and appears misfiled. Debates about the role of intellectuals and anti-intellectualism are attributed.

What it is for: Not applicable; a social role.

It can be explain the concept; relay history and critiques with attribution; describe named terms; distinguish related roles.

  • How should sociology sources be linked?
  • Should public intellectual be a separate entry?
