What is intellectual history? Those who practice intellectual history have described themselves as eavesdroppers upon the conversations of the past, explorers of alien ideological worlds, and translators between historic societies and our own, while their critics have often derided them as narrow–mindedly studying the ideas of dead white men. Some consider the discipline to be among the most important in the humanities and social sciences because it facilitates a better understanding of contemporary ideological programmes and facilitates their rational evaluation.
In this engaging and refreshing introduction to the field, Richard Whatmore begins by examining the historical development of intellectual history, before dissecting its various methodological debates. He presents various alternative ways in which we should think about intellectual history, as well as presenting his own very clear definition of the field. Drawing on a wide range of historical examples, Whatmore shows how ideas – philosophical, political, religious, scientific, artistic – originated in their historical context and how they were both shaped by, and helped to shape, the societies in which they originated. He ends by casting a critical eye over the current state of intellectual history, and a brief discussion of how it might develop in the future.

圖書標籤: 思想史 英文 斯金納 曆史 需 觀念史 英國 政治學
這本書是個很好的導讀,其標誌就是提供瞭一份有效的reading list,而且對每個思想史學者的研究都給齣瞭正反兩麵的評價,看得齣作者做過很好的讀書筆記。作者的關懷不僅在於介紹思想史是什麼,還試圖迴答思想史是否有用這樣的現實問題。方法論部分主要介紹的還是Cambridge School的linguistic contextualism,核心文本還是Skinner和James Tully的兩篇文章。書中對於Skinner、Pocock和John Dunn的論著都有比較細緻的分析。但美中不足的就是,所謂思想史不應該僅局限於政治思想史,因此讀完比較好奇的是,思想的來源和關聯除瞭政治方麵,在教育、社會等其他方麵的情況到底如何?此外,歐美思想史研究目前進展如何?還是得認真列個書單,一個一個讀過來。
評分順服瞭
