The 'history of ideas', better known these days as intellectual
history, is a flourishing field of study which has been the object
of much controversy but hardly any historical exploration. This
major new work from Donald R. Kelley is the first comprehensive
history of intellectual history, tracing the study of the history
of thought from ancient, medieval and early modern times, its
emergence as the 'history of ideas' in the 18th century, and its
subsequent expansion. The point of departure for this study is the
perspective opened up by Victor Cousin in the early 19th-century on
'Eclecticism' and its association with the history of philosophy
established by Renaissance scholars. Kelley considers a broad range
of topics, including the rivalry between 'ideas' and language, the
rise of cultural history, the contributions of certain 19th- and
20th-century practitioners of the history of ideas in
interdisciplinary areas of philosophy, literature and the sciences,
and finally the current state of intellectual history. The central
theme of the book is the interplay between the canon of
philosophical thought and the tradition of language and textual
study, the divergence of the latter marking the 'descent of ideas'
into the realm of cultural history.
