| Description | The question of academic responsibility is intimately linked with the question of what political responsibility is, since the point of a responsible academic intervention in ongoing political contests would necessarily be the production of a more responsible political outcome. This is especially significant in the case of an issue like human-induced climate change, which is well-established as a scientific claim that is indisputable within the scientific community; how such a claim should figure in the political sphere is far from obvious. To explore this question, I look first to Max Weber's treatment of a politics of responsibility, and then to John Dewey's account of how publics are constituted and the role of academic knowledge in that process. I argue that the figure of the public intellectual, rather than the figure of the expert, provides an especially compelling route for bringing the results of scholarly inquiry into politics in a way that does not result in the politicization of factual claims.
