«La caza de los intelectuales» is César Antonio Molina's essay on the relationship between power and culture, published by Ediciones Destino in paperback (528 pages, in Spanish).
The book starts from the question of why so many intellectuals have entered politics, from Plato before Dionysius II to the thinkers who supported the Second Republic. César Antonio Molina reviews historical episodes in which wisdom clashed with power and argues that those who dedicate themselves to public service must preserve their autonomy, their freedom of opinion and their ability to withdraw to take care of themselves.
The essay belongs to the Imago Mundi collection of Ediciones Destino.
Recommended for readers interested in political philosophy, history of ideas and the role of intellectuals in society.
