These profiles show how the classic problem of the relation between philosophy and politics evolved in the 20th century into the modern challenge of intellectual responsibility in an age of barbarism and totalitarianism. The author suggests that although the threat of tyranny seems to have receded, its possible allure continues to challenge independent inquiry. Included are profiles of Martin Heidegger, Carl Schmitt, Walter Benjamin, Alexandre Kojeve, Michel Foucault, and Jacques Derrida.

A professor at the University of Chicago profiles the past century's most brilliant thinkers (including Heidegger, Benjamin, Foucault, and Derrida). Lilla's rich exploration of the intellectual's responsibility towards victims and perpetrators of tyrannical regimes makes the study a worthy successor to Czeslaw Milosz's Captive Mind
