Summary/Abstract: This essay is a further reflection on Mihály Babits’ work The Betrayal by the Intellectuals. It deals with the relationship between philosophy and poetry, while sharply criticizing both philosophy, which is becoming increasingly scientific, and literature, which, in line with mass-taste, concentrates only on the formal element, on sudden inspiration, without thinking about the content. It is an unscientific indictment in defense of culture. Or if you like, it is about the latest betrayal of intellectuals on the threshold of the third millennium.
