In The Social Scientist
as Public Intellectual,
Charles Gattone addresses the question of the
public role of the social
scientist by reviewing the work of several key social thinkers
including
Max Weber, Thorstein Veblen, Karl Mannheim, Joseph
Schumpeter, C. Wright Mills, John Kenneth Galbraith, and Pierre
Bourdieu. Drawing on the analyses of these scholars, Gattone argues
that
although political and economic institutions continue to influence
the course of academic knowledge, opportunities remain for social
scientists to act independently of these constraints and approach their
work as
public intellectuals.
