Walter Lippmann And The American Century

Public Intellectuals of the early 20th Century occupy a strange place in the historical record. In their day they held immense influence as thinkers and popular philosophers but since their output was mostly journalism (a transitory medium), the actual evidence of their brilliance is mixed at best. Lippmann, like his great rival Dewey, tried to rectify this by writing dense philosophical text, which today are mostly used to scare students into showing up for test review sessions. Lippmann's strength as a writer and thinker was always its speed, not depth. The modern usage of "pundit" was coined to describe him, and his influence is directly tied to mass media supplanting parties as the primary unit of political mobilization. Having dedicated his intellectual life to warning of the dangers of mass democracy, the fact that he owed his influence to the democratization of political influence holds an irony that this book fails to explore. It was in his role as an instant analyst and philosopher that Lippmann helped usher in the end of the traditional public intellectual, as all pretext of depth and experience vanished, in favor of the camera's demands for the new, new thing.
