| Any person who has clarity of concepts and can think deeply on any topic is an intellectual IMO. Having said that by default, I consider most university professors to be intellectuals. I also consider all physicists, mathematicians and philosophers to be intellectuals. |

I'm reading a novel now that touches on some issues about self-described intellectuals. The novel is I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe. It's pretty interesting.
I may write a review of it and post it on TA. |
