Abstract
So there is something like an intellectual power. And I imagine that a magazine that aims at a concourse of intelligences and that places its birth under the zodiac sign would not represent an insignificant part of it. But let us take a closer look.
A slightly longer version of this article first appeared as ‘Que peuvent les intellectuels?’, Le Débat, 1, 1980, pp. 1–19. It has been translated by Professor Eugen Weber.
