《美国的反智主义》集思想史、社会史、政治史于一身,是一部关于美国知识分子及其批判者的经典著作。它出版于1963年,然而,几十年后乃至21世纪以来的美国社会——对科技的崇拜、失控的商业文化消费主义、教育的实用导向、对人文价值的轻视……层出不穷的民粹主义与暴力事件,说明反智主义的强度是周期性的,反智主义仍根深蒂固地存在着,由此,作者的叩问再次回响:“智识”该如何在人类文明中发展?知识分子能够在社会上、政治上扮演怎样的角色?“反智主义”这个问题,通常被认为就是在理查德•霍夫施塔特的《美国的反智主义》中被定义的。这本书的写作灵感来自1950年代的政治和智识生活,不过其历史叙述的起点要更早,终点落在了美国从麦卡锡主义制造的红色恐慌中恢复的时期。作者将反智主义观点当成一条主线,以此来检视美国社会与文化中多个不那么令人欣赏的层面。从美国的建国历程、宗教传统、政治体制、商业精神、学校教育,从绅士的没落、知识分子的疏离与服从等角度,对美国的反智主义根源进行了系统且富有历史深度的耙梳。在作者看来,1952年的大选淋漓尽致地反映出了智识与庸俗的对立。美国知识分子和人民之间的巨大且有害的差距,经由媒体广而告之。民主党20年统治结束后,知识分子在社会上衰落,而商人的影响力上升。现在,知识分子成了美国社会所有不愉快或不道德之事的共同替罪羊,而私营企业主被认为有能力面对任何困难。作者批判民粹、保守、反动、极右的思维,认为反智是个思想、情绪和态度的复合体,是“一种对精神生命和被认为了精神生命的人的怨恨和怀疑;一种不断贬低生命价值的取向”。
