a favor

Who are your favorite liberal intellectual heroes? I'm thinking of folks like Jane Addams & Martin Luther King.

Gandhi.

You know: Elitists.

Please comment if you would. Thanks much.

Gandhi is definitely up there. Others (in no particular order):

I'm having a thing lately for intellectual activists like George Monbiot, Naomi Klein, Cory Doctorow, Paul Krugman.

Others: George Orwell, Richard Rorty, Karl Marx, John Stuart Mill, Jürgen Habermas (even though I disagree on some very basic issues with him), Thorstein Veblen (a Norwegian!), Georg Johannesen (also Norwegian, but not translated, unfortunately), Antonio Gramsci, etc. etc.
