With reference to the above passage, explain the relationship between Orthodoxy, Orthopraxy and Heterodoxy as proposed by the author as applicable to the 'Public Intellectual'
Explanation:
‘Orthodox’ means ‘conforming to the approved form of any opinion’. ‘Orthoprax’ means ‘correctness of action or practice’. ‘Heterodox’ means ‘not in accordance with established opinions’. Throughout the passage, the author states that a public intellectual should take an independent and correct stand irrespective of others opinions. Thus a public intellectual can be ‘heterodox’ but not ‘orthodox’ or orthoprax’. Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
