A Critique of Theories of Intellectuals as a New Class
Davorka Matić
; Filozofski fakultet, Zagreb
Abstract
The increasing importance of knowledge for the modern system of production does not mean that the possessors of this knowledge gain ruling position in the society. Intellectual work secures prestige and influence in the decision making process. But where the capital relations are dominant or where politics determine economic and social life, intellectuals do not produce the basic antagonistic social relations. In capitalism and socialism professionals are constrained by the necessities of the system, they do not possess an autonomy of their own.
