Intellectual
An
intellectual is a person who engages in
critical thinking,
research, and
reflection about the nature of
reality, especially the nature of society and proposed solutions for its
normative problems. Coming from the world of
culture, either as a creator or as a mediator, the intellectual participates in politics, either to defend a concrete proposition or to denounce an injustice, usually by either rejecting, producing or extending an
ideology, and by defending a system of
values.
