« The "good" public is one that a better understanding of situations must be pushed to act effectively, in order to alleviate suffering and despair. We have come back to our obvious beginnings, although there are still some disagreements in this area, including between people who usually find themselves on the fundamental problems. »

« Intellectuals who care about the social cannot simply describe the horrible reality. This insistence on the horrors of the system and the crimes of power can only feed the cynicism or fatalism of the environment. As a social group, as a whole, intellectuals must now move from the description of what is wrong - why and how it does not work - to a reflection on the "society in which we would like to live" and on how to achieve it. »
