Rosengarten, Frank
On Intellectuals, Engaged and Otherwise (With an Afterword on Thomas Mann's Use of Intellectual Reflection in the Novella Mario and the Magician)
After a clarification of the word "intellectual," this essay proceeds to discuss three influential twentieth-century intellectuals: Antonio Gramsci, Edward Said, and Betty Friedan. The works discussed are Gramsci's The Prison Notebooks, Said's Humanism and Democratic Criticism and The Question of Palestine, and Friedan's The Feminine Mystique. The essay ends with an afterword on Thomas Mann's 1929 novella "Mario and the Magician," with a view to shedding light on why retrospective intellectual commentary is relevant to emotions whose intensity as lived experience seems to lie beyond the purview of such commentary.
