Intellectual

An intellectual is a person who engages in critical thinking, research, and reflection about society and proposes solutions for its normative problems. Some gain authority as public intellectuals. Coming from the world of culture, either as a creator or as a mediator, the intellectual participates in politics either to defend a concrete proposition or to denounce an injustice, usually by rejecting, producing or extending an ideology, and by defending a system of values.

Wikipedia

Intellectual

The intellectual forces of the workers and peasants are growing and getting stronger in their fight to overthrow the bourgeoisie and their accomplices, the educated classes, the lackeys of capital, who consider themselves the brains of the nation. In fact they are not its brains but its shit.

Vladimir Lenin, Letter from Lenin to Gorky, Sept. 15, 1919.

Wikiquote

Intellectual

A large section of the intelligentsia seems wholly devoid of intelligence.

G. K. Chesterton, The Autobiography of G.K. Chesterton.

Wikiquote

Intellectual

The creative role of an intellectual requires detachment from any particular idea or interest. Since the beginning of modernity, the authority of the intellectual has rested on the claim to be acting and speaking on behalf of society as a whole.

Frank Furedi, Where Have All the Intellectuals Gone?: Confronting 21st Century Philistinism (2006), p.34.

EU-research 'clears' the way for high quality lakes and reservoirs

The growth of blue-green algae in our lakes, large ponds, water reservoirs and public waters constitutes a problem for our environment and for our health. These types of algae often result in a deterioration of the water quality and emit a distinctly unpleasant odour. The algae consume a lot of oxygen in the water, leaving little for other animals like fish. They also produce toxins which can cause skin irritations and are suspected to be involved in the occurrence of liver cancer.
