From cafeterias to cocktail parties to the pages of important magazines and journals, few groups of friends have argued ideas so passionately and so publicly as the writers and critics known as the New York Intellectuals. Rising from America's working class they went on to wield great influence in the second half of the twentieth century. ARGUING THE WORLD is the portrait of four members of this group: Irving Kristol, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Nathan Glazer. It is the story of a lifelong political argument among brilliant and engaging individuals who came of age as radicals at the City College of New York during the Great Depression and then journeyed across the political spectrum. Tracing their rise to prominence as political and cultural critics in post-war America through magazines and journals like Partisan Review and Commentary the film charts their path through the controversies of the Cold War and Joe McCarthy's reign of terror, their clash with the tidal forces of the New Left on college campuses in the 60s, and the fights which pulled them apart in the midst of the conservative backlash hailed by Ronald Reagan's presidency in the eighties.Driven apart by their responses to these historical events, by the nineties the four found themselves at odds with one another. Irving Kristol became influential in America's resurgent conservative movement, Nathan Glazer, a forceful critic of liberal social policy, while Daniel Bell fought to defend a besieged liberalism. Until his death in 1993, Irving Howe, ever on the political margins, endured as a key voice of the radical Left. Weaving personal reminiscence, location photography, archival footage, images of New York and the voices of friends and critics, ARGUING THE WORLD explores the passions, the issues and the era that shaped these men. 译文(3): 从自助餐厅到鸡尾酒会，再到重要杂志和期刊的版面，很少有一群朋友能像被称为“纽约知识分子”的作家和评论家那样热情而公开地争论自己的想{资源屯-ziyuantun.com}。他们从美国工人阶级崛起，在20世纪下半叶发挥了巨大的影响力。ARGUING THE WORLD是该团体四名成员的肖像：{Ziyuantun.Com}Irving Kristol、Irving Howe、Daniel Bell和Nathan Glazer。这是一个关于才华横溢、引人入胜的个人之间的终身政治争论的故事，这些人在大萧条期间作为激进分子在纽约城市学院长大，然后跨越政治光谱。
