Veteran political commentator, scholar and former editor of The New Statesman Paul Johnson has collected all the nasty, cruel and disgusting episodes in the lives of the mighty dead in order to question their "moral and judgmental credentials to give advice to humanity on how to conduct its affairs."
Intellectuals, according to Johnson, often possess a defining set of characteristic traits; they are lying, cheating, hypocritical, megalomaniacs who combine an abstract love of humanity with an exploitative, selfish and cruel treatment of those who were closest to them. Rousseau, Shelley, Marx, Ibsen, Tolstoy, Hemingway, Bertrand Russell, Brecht, Sartre, Lillian Hellman, Norman Mailer and Kenneth Tynan are put under the spotlight and damned as moral exemplars and truth-tellers while Edmund Wilson, Evelyn Waugh and Orwell provide the necessary foil of intellectual integrity.
This is a voyeuristic, gossip-mongering, ruthless and completely compelling book that leaves a bad taste in the mouth if you consume it at one sitting. Fortunately--since it's a collection of short biographical essays or exposès one can dip in where one likes. Intellectuals is well researched and has the polished concision one might expect from a veteran journalist and scholar. It also has the advantage of dealing with subject matter that is fascinating in itself--the extravagant personalities and spectacular immoralities of some of our most revered figures. Intellectuals doesn't always work as dispassionate intellectual history--for instance the overview of intellectual trends since the 1960s in the final chapter "The Flight of Reason" seems forced--but as a set of exposès it is splendid. --Larry Brown

評分终于读完了保罗·约翰逊（Paul Johnson）的《所谓的知识分子》（Intellectuals），这是一本“颠覆”之作，作者把笼罩在所谓的知识分子头上的光环抛开，把这些“人类的良心”放在聚光灯下，从个人生活的角度观察他们，从而揭露出他们华丽的外衣下藏着的“小”。 读这本书，首先...

A good book! I like all those intellectuals better after knowing how normal they are.
评分一言以蔽之，文人=jerk。本書詳細地扒瞭很多人的皮，其實在我看來沒多少意思，因為我從來也不怎麼買這些人的帳。
评分Intellect is the hamartia of men.
