Boasting an all-star cast of contributors - including some of Canada's most prominent writers, journalists, and academics - it probes the role of public discourse and intellectual persuasion in shaping Canada's past, present, and future. The Public Intellectual in Canada examines how individuals have come to assume this role, how they are received by various publics, and what they have been able to accomplish. The pieces cover topics ranging from the potential and perils of advocacy to the influence of think tanks on public policy. Many pieces also delve into the roles of pollsters, political actors, pundits, social activists, economists, and ethicists, among others. Broad in scope and stylistically diverse, these essays offer a fascinating overview of the links between thought, public exposition, and action in the fields of politics, science, and culture. 606 $aIntellectuals$zCanada 607 $aCanada$xIntellectual life 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIntellectuals 676 $a305.5/520971 700 $aWiseman$b Nelson, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0969825 702 $aWiseman$b Nelson$f1946- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453206603321 996 $aThe public intellectual in Canada$92204343 997 $aUNINA
