Recenzii
This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in conceptual history. It provides clear, practical guidance on how to write conceptual history, filling a gap that has been missing in the field until now.
This volume offers a lucid exposition of what makes Conceptual History different from rival approaches to ideas together with eight case-studies in which the authors reflect on their methods as they employ them. It should be essential reading for intellectual historians.
The editors have assembled a wide-ranging collection of essays that perambulate the boundaries shared by conceptual history with other approaches to intellectual history, including Cambridge School contextualism and newer approaches such as the histories of emotions and of knowledge. The authors explore both the promise and pitfalls of digitalization and AI, while drawing attention to the genealogy of highly topical terms such as "climate crisis". Anyone interested in the history of ideas will want to read this book.
This brilliantly conceived analysis of the various approaches to conceptual history is by far the best introduction to that expanding field of knowledge. Through invaluable theoretical overviews and illuminating case studies, the contributors lucidly and engagingly provide insights into the always contested temporal and spatial nature of social and political language.
