THE GREAT DISMISSAL - HENRY SUSSMAN KARTONIERT ...

Veteran scholar and critic Henry Sussman deploys anecdote  reportage  and memoir to lament and
scrutinize the rise of anti-intellectualism in the past few decades. How are we to reckon with
the decline of impartiality and sharp increase in self-interested interference in politic 
legal  and cultural spheres  the normalization of pathological narcissism in public life  and
the blanket dismissal of scientific findings and their counterparts in the humanities and
social sciences? In retracing his own intellectual and experiential steps  Sussman revisits
many of his lasting inspirations  including Walter Benjamin  Jacques Derrida  Douglas R.
Hofstadter  Immanuel Kant  and J. Hillis Miller. The result is an intellectual meditation on
'the great dismissal ' in public and political life  of venerable and vital humanistic
traditions  ethics  and ways of thinking.
