Q: Do you think intellectuals today talk too much?

“The word intellectual strikes me as odd.  Personally, I’ve never met any intellectuals.  I’ve met people who write novels, others who treat the sick; people who work in economics and others who compose electronic music.  I’ve met people who teach, people who paint, and people of whom I have never really understood what they do.  But intellectuals? Never.

“On the other hand, I’ve met a lot of people who talk about ‘the intellectual.’ And, listening to them, I’ve got some idea of what such an animal could be.  It’s not difficult - he’s quite personified.  He’s guilty of pretty well everything:  of speaking out and of keeping silent, of doing nothing and of getting involved in everything…. In short, the intellectual is raw material for a verdict, a sentence, a condemnation, and an exclusion…”

-Michel Foucault, “The Masked Philosopher” : in an interview with Christian Delacampagne for France’s newspaper Le Monde.  Published in April 1980.
