Can you name a few living or dead, well-known, public intellectuals besides Noam Chomsky?

My cat , Deja vu

Steven Pinker.

The late Richard Feynman

Socratese. .. ghautma bhudda and confuscious ... Yeah I know. .my spelling sucks

William F Buckley, Arthur Miller, and Norman Podhoretz are 3 that come immediately to mind.

Sure.

@Thriftymaid. Ok, where are you naming them? In your diary?

Benjamin Franklin
Socrates
Leonardo da Vinci

Slavoj Zizek. Super hard to understand sometimes, but incredibly insightful and penetrating intelligence. I think, lol. A lot of it is way over my head.

RPF for the win :)

Wow, the guy concedes the claim ISIS exists because of US intervention in the Levant which destabilized the governments of Iraq and Syria is TRUE!

Of course, because he cannot allow the truth of the claim to stand for ideological reasons, he employs the logical fallacy of infinite regression (e.g. blame all prior events in history up to and including human migration out of Africa for the state of the world today). It's horses**t and you know it.

Old, now I KNOW you did not write that one expecting AL to understand the logic or the big words.  Yes, other people are reading this.  Just so you know this was not dust in the wind here. 

Issac Newton

Albert Einstein

Max Planc

Steven Hawking

Me.

Sharp answer. You asked "can you name?" and she answered "sure" as in yes she can. Had you asked "please name" or "will you name", you might have received a different answer.

@Al, Chomsky is the #1 intellectual in the world!

@Stu, this is a question site. No one says "please". You just ask the question. Now, if they don't answer, you can ask them to answer it.

She did answer the question as you asked it. That's all I'm saying.

@Al, have you seen Sam Harris videos with Chomsky? He would be the first to admit that Chomsky is #1 public intellectual. He may not agree with him, but he respects his intelligence.

Marie Curie

Tesla.

Looks like I got it wrong, maybe.

I'm one.
