Intellectual
An intellectual is a person who engages in critical study, thought, and reflection about the reality of society, and proposes solutions for the normative problems of that society, and, by such discourse in the public sphere, he or she gains authority within the public opinion. Coming from the world of culture, either as a creator or as a mediator, the intellectual participates in politics, either to defend a concrete proposition or to denounce an injustice, usually by producing or by extending an ideology, and by defending a system of values.Socially, the intellectuals constitute the intelligentsia, a status class organised either by ideology (conservative, fascist, progressive, reactionary, revolutionary, democratic, communist intellectuals, et al.) or by nationality (American intellectuals, French intellectuals, Ibero–American intellectuals, etc.). The contemporary intellectual class originated from the intelligentsiya of Tsarist Russia (ca. 1860s–70s), the social stratum of men and women possessed of intellectual formation (schooling, education, or Enlightenment), and were Russian society's counterpart to the German Bildungsbürgertum and to the French bourgeoisie éclairée, the ""enlightened middle classes"" of those realms.In the late 19th century, during the Dreyfus Affair (1894–1906), an identity crisis of Anti-semitic nationalism for the French Third Republic (1870–1940), the reactionary anti–Dreyfusards (Maurice Barrès, Ferdinand Brunetière, et al.) used the terms intellectual and the intellectuals to deride the liberal Dreyfusards (Émile Zola, Octave Mirbeau, Anatole France, and others) as political busy-bodies and dilettantes from the realms of French culture, art, and science, who had become involved in the politics of public advocacy for the exoneration and liberation of Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish captain of artillery who had been falsely condemned of betraying France to Germany.In the 20th century, the term ""intellectual"" acquired positive connotations of social prestige derived from him or her possessing intellect and superior intelligence, especially when the intellectual's activities in the public sphere exerted positive consequences upon the common good, by means of moral responsibility, altruism, and solidarity, in effort to elevate the intellectual understanding of the public at large, without resorting to the manipulations of populism, paternalism, and condescension. Hence, for the educated men and women of a society, participating in the public sphere — the political affairs of the city-state — is a civic responsibility dating from the Græco–Latin Classical era:The determining factor for a thinker (historian, philosopher, scientist, writer, artist, et al.) to be considered ""an Intellectual"" is the degree to which he or she is implicated and engaged with the vital reality of contemporary times; that is to say, participation in the public affairs of society. Consequently, being designated as ""an Intellectual"" is determined by the degree of influence of the designator’s motivations, opinions, and options of action (social, political, ideological), and by his or her affinity with the given thinker; therefore:Analogously, the application and the conceptual value of the terms ""intellectual"" and ""the intellectuals"" are socially negative when the practice of intellectuality is exclusively in service to The Establishment who wield power in a society, as such:Hence, Noam Chomky’s negative criticism of the Establishment Intellectual, logically postulates the existence of an intellectual Other, thus the public intellectual is:
