Collini provides a rigorous analysis of the concept of 'the intellectual', explores the ways this topic has been treated in the USA, France, and other parts of Europe, analyses in detail the
thinking of such influential figures as Julien Benda, T.S. Eliot,
George Orwell, and Edward Said, and offers trenchant critiques
of current assumptions about specialization and celebrity.

Absent Minds is a major work of intellectual history and cultural
criticism.
It is authoritative yet accessible, scholarly yet provocative: it will change the nature of debate about intellectuals.
