ABSTRACT:Donald Trump campaigned for the presidency and continues to govern as a man who is anti-intellectual, as well as anti-fact and anti-truth. "The experts are terrible," Trump said while discussing foreign policy during the 2016 campaign. "Look at the mess we're in with all these experts that we have." But Trump belongs to a long U.S. tradition of skepticism about the role and motivations of intellectuals in political life. And his particularly toxic version of this tradition raises provocative and difficult questions: Are there occasions when anti-intellectualism is defensible or justified? Should we always dismiss charges that intellectuals are out of touch or too protective of established ways of thinking?

反思想主义对民主有好处吗?

摘要:唐纳德·特朗普竞选总统,并继续以反智,反事实和反真相的人身分执政。特朗普在2016年竞选期间讨论外交政策时说:“专家们太可怕了。” “看看我们与所有这些专家所处的混乱状态。” 但特朗普对美国对知识分子在政治生活中的角色和动机的怀疑持悠久的传统。他对这一传统特别有毒的说法提出了挑衅性和棘手的问题:反智主义在某些情况下是可辩护的还是正当的?我们是否应该始终否认知识分子脱节或过于保守既定思维方式的指控?
