We will examine the 'birth' of the intellectual during the Dreyfus Affair and evaluate the impact that intellectuals have had in the political and socio-cultural history of twentieth-century France. The following aspects will be covered: the definition and role of the intellectual, conflicts which have emerged between intellectuals in the twentieth century, the involvement of intellectual figures in the political sphere, the structures of the cultural and intellectual life in France, the role played and to be played by intellectuals in contemporary France.
