This text analyzes the models of intellectual proposed by Foucault and Rorty. These two models resign to keep following the classical pattern of the intellectual and opt for completely opposite solutions. The specific intellectual proposed by Foucault makes of his work a critical task that becomes a new way of thinking the relations between philosophy and politics, while the ironical intellectual proposed by Rorty drives his intellectual activity towards desertion, towards the philosophical subordination to democracy. Two ways, then, to understand practical philosophy in our present time which drive us towards the question of criticism in democracy.
