The paper gives a concise account of Rorty’s conception of intellectuals and their role in society, politics and culture. This topic is an integral part of Rorty’s writings, in particular those on ethics and politics since the 1990s. The author describes his attitude towards Central-European intellectuals such as Patočka and Havel; his views on the contemporary leftist intellectuals in relation to the problem of the poor; his cultural typology of intellectuals as related to cultural politics; his concept of post-philosophical culture. In conclusion he depicts Rorty’s hope in future intellectual culture radically different from that of our days.
