What does it mean to be an intellectual? Who are the intellectuals and what is their function in society? This dissertation aims at providing answers to these questions by elaborating a concept of “intelligence” understood as a specific kind of normative knowledge – which I call intellectual knowledge –, or capacity, to carry out an intellectual intervention. This latter notion denotes an action that makes people act in an autonomous and rational way in a given situation through epistemic (i.e., non-coercive) means by providing trans-contextually valid models or patterns of behavior and thought based on certain values and worldviews. Based on these considerations, and against standard and elitist definitions of intellectuals, I argue that any person, group, or organization who carries such knowledge and thereby assumes an intellectual function must be considered an intellectual. This conception is laid out through a novel interpretation of Karl Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge and sociology of intellectuals (fields of which he is credited to be the founder), which I see as converging into a sociology of intelligence. Against most standard readings of Mannheim’s work on these matters, I contend that the above-stated theses regarding intelligence stem logically from an interpretation of his writings that is capable of recognizing and putting to the fore their reflexive, transdisciplinary and dissenting dimensions. Indeed, Mannheim’s sociology of intelligence, as a dissenting scientific/intellectual movement (disSIM), radically calls into question the then and currently dominant way to conceive the practice of the academic disciplines and the idea of knowledge (a non-intellectual one) that it implicitly vehiculates. By restoring Mannheim to the place he deserves in the history of the sociology of knowledge and the sociology of intellectuals, this dissertation also aims at providing a theoretical frame in which this latter question of the intellectual dimension of academic knowledge can be formulated and discussed in a productive way.

Comment être utile dans un contexte de colonisation et de guerre de libération ? C'est la question que se posent le Béarnais Pierre Bourdieu et le Kabyle Abdelmalek Sayad en pleine efferves?cence révolutionnaire. Dès leur première rencontre, à l'université d'Alger, en septembre 1958 (ils ont 25 et 28 ans), va se nouer une forte amitié intellectuelle sur la base d'une même volonté de comprendre et de changer le cours des choses. Inscrit en licence de psychologie, instituteur dans la banlieue algéroise, Sayad milite au sein des libéraux, mouvance qui rassemble plusieurs tendances politiques progressistes favorables à l'indépendance de l'Algérie, mais distantes des mouvements nationalistes et fondant leur projet sur une fraternité entre « Algériens » et « Européens ». Proche lui aussi de cette mou?vance, Bourdieu, qui enseigne la philosophie et la sociologie, vient de publier son premier ouvrage, Sociologie de l'Algérie, où il analyse les fondements de la société algérienne et les conséquences sociales de la guerre...

Literaire en wetenschappelijke genootschappen waren zeer sterk bepalend voor de Nederlandse cultuur van de late achttiende eeuw. De vrouwen die deze kringen frequenteerden vormden een kleine minderheid. De dichteres Petronella Moens was één van hen. Het veelzijdige werk van Petronella Moens waarin politieke, godsdienstige en opvoedkundige onderwerpen aan de orde komen, kan gezien worden als een spiegel van haar tijd. Zij vormde de spil van menige vriendenkring en kende letterkundigen als Betje Wolff en Aagje Deken. Deze cultuurhistorische studie belicht de onderwerpen van gesprek in genootschapsbijeenkomsten, in vriendschappelijke discussies en in brieven aan tijdgenoten. Naast een biografische schets bevat de studie ook een bibliografische handreiking.
