Intellectual Pursuits: Toward an Understanding of Culture
Bernard Barber
This book sets to clarify several basic topics in current humanities and social science discourses that are badly muddled. The heart of the clarification is contained in Barber's definition of culture, derived from social system theory, that provides us with a better understanding of today's debate on intellectuals and the pursuit of science.
