Privilege, he argues, brings with it the responsibility to tell the truth and expose lies, but our intellectual culture only pays lip-service to this ideal. The essay has been described as ?the single most influential piece of anti-war literature? of the Vietnam War period. Since then, Chomsky has continued to equip a growing international audience with the facts and arguments needed to understand ? and change ? our world. According to The New York Times, Chomsky ?may be the most widely read American voice on foreign policy on the planet today?. This book revisits ?The Responsibility of Intellectuals? half a century on. It includes six new essays written to celebrate Chomsky?s famous intervention and explore its relevance in today?s world. Nicholas Allott, Chris Knight, Milan Rai and Neil Smith have studied and written about Chomsky?s thought for many years, while Craig Murray and Jackie Walker describe the personal price they have paid for speaking out. The book finishes with Chomsky?s recollections of the background to the original publication of his essay, followed by extensive commentary from him on its 50th anniversary. 517 $aResponsibility of Intellectuals 606 $aPeace studies & conflict resolution$2bicssc 606 $aPostwar 20th century history, from c 1945 to c 2000$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of ideas$2bicssc 606 $aPolitical science & theory$2bicssc 606 $aOther warfare & defence issues$2bicssc 610 $aChomsky, war 610 $aResponsibility of Intellectuals 610 $aVietnam 615 7$aPeace studies & conflict resolution 615 7$aPostwar 20th century history, from c 1945 to c 2000 615 7$aHistory of ideas 615 7$aPolitical science & theory 615 7$aOther warfare & defence issues 676 $a170 700 $aAllott$b Nicholas$4edt$01116033 702 $aKnight$b Chris$4edt 702 $aSmith$b Neil$4edt 702 $aChomsky$b Noam$4edt 702 $aAllott$b Nicholas$4oth 702 $aKnight$b Chris$4oth 702 $aSmith$b Neil$4oth 702 $aChomsky$b Noam$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910836796103321 996 $aThe responsibility of intellectuals$93661023 997 $aUNINA
