| Abstract: | The paper is a lecture given at the London School of Economics and political Science on 11 October 2005. It provides a pretext for a general inquiry into public intellectual life in postwar Britain. The lecture puts forward arguments concerning the migration of intellectuals, intellectual innovation, social critisism, race, gender etc. It claims that Britain should have made a sustained, macro-sociological analysis of the historical decline of Britain as a world power in the twentieth century. |
