Exploring the interplay between creativity and civil courage, this book offers a sociological perspective on intellectuals' roles in democracy. Barbara A. Misztal presents a typology of intellectuals demonstrating civil courage, using the biographies of twelve Nobel Peace Prize laureates, such as Elie Wiesel and Andrei Sakharov, to highlight their contributions to civil society. In a time marked by fear and complexity, the work provides a fresh analysis of intellectuals' public engagement and their impact on social well-being.
