Intellectual History Seminar: John G.A. Pocock
John G. A. Pocock (JHU) | "The Politics of Historiography" Intellectual History Seminar. In recent years intellectual history has reestablished itself as a distinct and vital field of scholarship, with a new attention to the social and cultural contexts of thought as well as to language, rhetoric, and meaning. Even as the field has applied insights from a broad range of other disciplines, and especially from literary studies and philosophy, its practitioners have sought an understanding of thinkers, ideas, and texts that is emphatically historical. http://jhfc.duke.edu/ces/Published 6 months ago
