Abstract
Abstract The current crisis facing intellectuals and the university certainly is multifaceted and not reducible either to pat structuralist explanations or those which would simply treat the crisis as a reflection of the spiritual morass of our age (post-modernist ennui, the eclipse of metanarratives, the collapse of meaning, etc.). This crisis must be seen as rooted in the fall of those lines of demarcation which separate intellectuals from other groups on the basis of their practical activity, and the university from the state and all other institutions of civil society. In other words, what might very well be at stake is nothing less than the privileged particularity of intellectuals (their special status as bearers of universal knowledge, their distinctive claims as seekers of truth and excellence) and the privileged particularity of the university.
