Douglas Hofstadter 也能算一个吧?
Al Gore can also be considered as a public intellectual?

公共知识分子一个要公共的厉害,另一个要知识的厉害。有鉴于此,就这百人之内我选如下五人:
Noam Chomsky - 美国外交政策的一面镜子,镜子是否失真是另一码事
Peter Singer - 当今最有影响力的伦理学家之一,并且身体力行
Amartya Sen - 诺贝尔经济学奖得主,致力于发展中国家和脱贫研究
Jeffrey Sachs - 经济学家,致力于发展中国家和脱贫研究
Richard Dawkins - 当今达尔文的斗犬
荣誉提名:
Thomas Friedman - 当今影响美国朝野最力的记者
Fareed Zakaria - 另一位颇有大眼光的记者

I also like Dawkins a lot.

my vote so far:
Amartya Sen (I just LOVE him)
Noam Chomsky (I admire his spirit and linguistic theory)
Amos Oz (I like his stance, courage and writings)
Orhan Pamuk (I am fond of his writings, in addition he is a very good looking guy)
I am still hesitating among: Olivier Roy, J.M. Coetzee (I like him very much but he is not public enough), Vaclav Havel and Paul Krugmam.
No, not Jeffrey Sachs, what he has been saying is just blabla and doing is empty if you dig up a little bit.

无神论今天又遇到了一个无法逾越的饽论,当现今科技发展到可以造人,自己做上帝的时候,才发现
我们用依靠智能设计的产物去证明人类可能不是一个智能设计者的产物。

先不说是否现今科技发展到可以造人,从人能造人怎能推到上帝造人?人造上帝是一个比上帝造人更顺当的命题。;)
介绍一个网站,有若干顶尖人物的讨论,种种不同观点。可以拿到免费小册,也可以打印pdf文件。
Does science make belief in God obsolete?
