Abstract

This paper reflects upon the public role of intellectuals. In doing so, it draws from the work of two renowned contemporary thinkers, Jürgen Habermas and Zygmunt Bauman. It researches how the “legislator” feature of intellectual discourse has reached a crisis and how this has affected the public role of Philosophy and Sociology, which are represented respectively by the two thinkers. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these critiques to the public engagement of intellectuals who conduct research on sport and scientific associations.
