The Prospect magazine site invites readers to vote on the top five British public intellectuals.
"The five public intellectuals who receive most votes will be invited to dinner with a cabinet minster and the editor of a national newspaper, and Prospect will report on the conversation."
The lucky reader voters who match the choice of the winners will each receive a copy of Samuel Huntington’s new book, "Who Are We? America’s Great Debate."
I found some small amusement matching the prize title and competition title.
Most of the names were unfamiliar to me. I wondered if they checked .au logins to allow votes. I didn't vote for Germaine Greer. I voted for Seamus Heaney. Adam Phillips because it looked a bit like Philip Adams and Jonathan Sacks because I'd never heard of him
