Focusing on the evolution of intellectuals, this fourth installment of Harry Redner's tetralogy explores their historical significance, current challenges, and uncertain future. It highlights how the process of secularization stripped intellectuals of the hope for immortality, leading to ideologies that fueled the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century. These regimes ultimately targeted intellectuals, resulting in unprecedented mass extermination. The book also analyzes the present state of intellectuals in America and globally, tracing the roots of this complex relationship.
