Historically, however, the record of philosophers as ‘public
intellectuals’ has not been a happy one, as a quick survey of the
history of philosophy might show, from the days of Plato and Aristotle
in antiquity to at least some of the public interventions of the likes
of Heidegger, Sartre and Russell nearer to our own time. For whatever
reason, historically there seems to have been no clear correlation
between philosophic wisdom and practical wisdom, nor does philosophy in
itself afford any reliable credentials for entry into public debate.
