In order to approach the second main task of ”Taking part in the political process of decision making concerning the developments of societies” the project discusses the role of public intellectuals for their societies on the other hand.
The assessment of the differences and similarities in the role performance of intellectuals in different European countries will improve our knowledge about particular societies from a sociological point of view.
This realm of research addresses the problem of transmitting sociological knowledge to the society in order to influence it.

The circumstances under which this process takes place vary from country to country. If this transmission would not be possible within a country or even a discipline, it is not possible on a European level either. Our aim is to identify and overcome the obstacles in this crucial relationship.
Case studies on Max Weber, Alva and Gunnar Myrdal and French Intellectuals helped clarifying this topic.
The research reports and the ongoing contribution is work in progress and will be the base for a ANOVASOFIE publication on Public Intellectuals in Europe at the end of the project.
