Definition

  • There has been much heated debate among journalists, academics, and others recently on the question of who is an intellectual and whether there has been a decline in intellectual life. The trend now is toward a less prescriptive definition than the one previously accepted. [Source: Encyclopedia of Urban Studies; Intellectuals]
