My Take
Dominique Reynié strikes me as the kind of public intellectual modern democracies badly need. Born in Rodez in 1960, a professor of political science at Sciences Po Paris and a Knight of the Legion of Honour, he straddles scholarship, teaching, and active politics with a Gemini-like versatility. What I find compelling is that he does not hide in the ivory tower; he applies his study of public opinion directly to the messy realities of French political life. There is nothing flashy here, just rigorous, durable thinking. I respect that brand of intellectual seriousness, the unshowy backbone that keeps a healthy democracy honest.
