Abstract

The analysis of the role of intellectuals in social life has been widely studied and theorized. However, little application has been made on the involvement of the intellectual in the study of religions. This paper analyses the different types of intellectuals, e.g. Bauman’s legislators and interpreters, and the role they take in researching and/or speaking for and/or against the other in religion.
