This volume discusses ways in which the history of philosophy has
been written, from 1800 to 1950, and how it has been informed and
guided by institutional, cultural, political, philosophical, and
non-philosophical factors. Since its inception as a discipline,
histories of philosophy have been written in different ways,
depending on author, place, and time; they have varied according to
institutional frameworks, cultural settings, and philosophical and
non-philosophical contexts. At each stage of the discipline’s
development and evolution, philosophy has constantly used the
history of philosophy for its own purposes by adapting it,
transforming it, rejecting it, embracing it, and rewriting it at
every step of the way. The chapters in this book examine the
methods deployed by historians of philosophy, epistemological
foundations laid down for those methods, and the philosophical (or
non-philosophical) aims pursued using those methods. This book will
be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced
students of philosophy and related fields, including political
philosophy and history of philosophy. It was originally published
as a special issue of the British Journal for the History of
Philosophy.
