Inhaltsangabe

Joseph Dorman's film Arguing the World won New York Magazine's Best New York Documentary award in 1999 as well as the Peabody Award in 1999. His work has also appeared on The Discovery Channel, CBS, and CNN, and has been nominated for two Emmy Awards.

Joseph Dorman's acclaimed documentary, Arguing the World, included stunning interviews with Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, Irving Kristol, and Nathan Glazer. Now with a new preface, Dorman converted the film into this book that includes an overview of the New York Intellectuals and a chapter on the future of the public intellectual. Expertly spliced together from the film and new material, this book gives the sense that these men are still engaged in their fiery debates that targeted everything from the Depression to McCarthyism to the rise of the New Left through the Age of Reagan.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Joseph Dorman's acclaimed documentary Arguing the World offered an insider's view into one of the most tumultuous periods in American intellectual history. Based on new interviews, and outfitted with a new preface that explores how the evolving relationship between the New York intellectuals and the utopian ideal influenced their shifting political views, this book puts into print the stories and arguments that were so compelling on film. Dorman demonstrates how the New York intellectuals, during the second half of the twentieth century, helped to set the agenda for national debates about socialism, literature, sociology, and especially Soviet totalitarianism. Their fiery arguments influenced later generations and remain just as vital and contentious today.
