A list of intellectualls
Foreign policy is presenting the list “The Prospect/FP Top 100 Public Intellectuals." The list is still tentative, and we can vote on it.
There are two Japanese listed here, Shinaro Ishihara and Kennichiro Omae. The former is probably one of the FP’s favorite figures. You can see Ishihara’s article in the last issue of FP, in which he said Japan’s passivity will disappear in the future and Japan will be more active and independent. Japan is the sleeping lion, not China, wrote Ishihara.
And, I also know Omae is famous outside Japan. I have seen his name in Thomas Friedman’s new book “The world is flat.” But I don' think he has so much reputation in Japan.
There is some doubt that they are really representatives of Japanese intellectuals, but, sadly, I don’t come up with any other intellectuals to recommend.
By the way, I know 28 names in this list: Gary Becker, Pope Benedict XVI, Jagdish Bhagwati, Noam Chomsky, Richard Dawkins, Thomas Friedman, Francis Fukuyama, Anthony Giddens, J・gen Habermas, Eric Hobsbawm, Samuel Huntington, Robert Kagan, Paul Kennedy, Paul Krugman, Bernard Lewis, Antonio Negri, Steven Pinker, Robert Putnam, Richard Rorty, Jeffrey Sachs, Amartya Sen, Ali al-Sistani, Wang Jisi, Paul Wolfowitz, Fareed Zakaria, Slavoj Zizek and two Japanese guys. Most of the people I’m familiar with are British or American. It is partly because I speak only Japanese and English. But, I have to extend my antenna to other countries.
How many people’s name are you familiar with?
