N2  - "In this engaging and refreshing introduction to the field, Richard Whatmore begins by examining the historical development of intellectual history, before dissecting its different methodological debates. He presents various alternative ways in which we should think about the discipline, and also offers his own very clear definition of the field. Drawing on a wide range of historical examples, the author shows how ideas - philosophical, political, religious, scientific, artistic - originated in their historical context and how they were 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 engaging in a brief discussions of how it might develop in the future." --Publisher's description.
