It was written after Syed Hussein Alatas’ withdrawal from active politics. Alatas’ experience as the national chairperson of Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia and presence in the Senate brought him face-to-face with problems that were largely the result of the kind of elites ruling the country. Intellectuals flourish during times of crisis; but in periods of relative calm, they must form a community, without which there will not be conscious and intelligent solutions to the problems faced by developing societies. These problems must be met by intellectual justice, not with the exploitative ignorance of the fools. Only after the emergence of such a community can the developing societies of our world escape the clutches of the fools and chart their own course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e1 The Malaysian Background: A Personal Account\u003cbr\u003e2 Intellectuals and Their Function\u003cbr\u003e3 Bebalisma\u003cbr\u003e4 The Fools in Developing Societies\u003cbr\u003e5 The Intellectuals and Developing Societies\u003cbr\u003e6 The Necessity for Intellectuals\u003cbr\u003e7 The Emergence of the Intellectuals\u003cbr\u003e8 Backwardness and the Intellectuals: The Russian Phenomenon and Developing Societies\u003cbr\u003e9 The Backward Elites and Modernisation\u003cbr\u003e10 Science and the Backward Elites\u003cbr\u003e11 Backward Elites and the Problem of Causation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerakbudaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40896747438115,"sku":"9789670076348","price":18.9,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/files\/DSC_4449.jpg?v=1753245486","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/intellectuals-in-developing-societies","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
