Ethnocentrism in Retrospect a Response to Jonathan Benthall in This Issue
Concluding observations
Looking back on the contributions to this issue, this essay situates citizenship in the frame of state formation. It places the varieties of citizenship on a continuum, from punctual citizenship acts to the normative and highly demanding Aristotelian concept of citizenship. All premodern states, with the exception of China, were infra-structurally weak, leaving room for self-rule and citizenship acts in local, often urban, arenas. However, citize…
The Invention of Humanity
For much of history, strangers were seen as barbarians, seldom as fellow human beings. The notion of common humanity had to be invented. Drawing on global thinkers, Siep Stuurman traces ideas of equality and difference across continents and civilizations, from antiquity to present-day debates about human rights and the “clash of civilizations.”
Common Humanity and Cultural Difference on the Sedentary– Nomadic Frontier
Perspectives on Feminist Political Thought in European History
Spanning six centuries of political thought in European history, this book puts the ideas of thinkers from Christine de Pizan to Simone de Beauvoir in the broader contexts of their time. This intriguing collection of essays shows that feminism is not a varient of modern radical discourse but a mode of analysing the issues of authority, power and virtue that have been at the heart of European political thought from the middle ages

Herodotus and Sima Qian
This article presents a comparative investigation of Herodotus and Sima Qian with a focus on their ethnographies of nomadic peoples. Both historians included geography and ethnography in their works because their societies had reached a stage when it was no longer possible to write their histories without taking the measure of their wider environment. The author posits that frontiers are not just locations of “othering” but also zones of creative…

Can the Enlightenment Provide a Canon for Modernity?
The Enlightenment represents the turning point towards modernity. As a historical era, it runs, roughly, from the middle decades of the seventeenth century to the French Revolution of 1789. That is history. But the Enlightenment has somehow refused to be safely consigned to ‘history’ in the same way as the Crusades, the Roman Empire or the world of ancient China. It is somehow ‘too close’ to us and too much part of ‘who we are’. Precisely because…
Introduction
Over the past decades many politicians and pundits have blamed new trends in historical research and teaching for the weakening of national identity in the Western world. In the United States, Australia and Canada, books with titles such as Impostors in the Temple, The Killing of History and Who Killed Canadian History sounded a cultural alarm.1 The 'old' canon of history, they argued, validated national identity and deepened collective memory. T…
Cosmopolitan Egalitarianism in the Enlightenment
This article discusses the egalitarian ideas of the French Orientalist Abraham-Hyacinthe Anquetil Duperron, showing that they inform his writings on Zoroastrianism and India, his critique of Montesquieu's theory of Oriental Despotism, as well as his later defense of the Arctic peoples of America and Eurasia. It further shows that Anquetil's global egalitarianism was part of his project for a comparative study of world religions and civilizations.…

On Intellectual Innovation and the Methodology of the History of Ideas
Mark Bevir's Logic of the History of Ideas is discussed, focusing on the problematic of intellectual innovation. Sharing Bevir's anti-foundationalist position and his Wittgensteinian view of language, the article criticizes the overly rationalistic and individualist bias in his proposed logic for the history of ideas. It is further argued that Bevir's critique of contextualism is unconvincing because it is based on a far too crude view of the act…
The Canon of the History of Political Thought
After a brief review of the origins and the nature of the received canon of the history of political thought, this article discusses the critiques that have been leveled at it over the past decades. Two major lines of critique are distinguished: 1. The democratic critique, focusing on the omission of "plebeian," non-Western, and female voices from the traditional canon, as well as the failure of the canon to discuss issues such as popular radical…

A Millennium of European State Formation
Since Barrington Moore's Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy, few attempts have been made to explain the pattern of European state formation over the past thousand years in an equally grand and ambitious manner. Charles Tilly's account of European state formation belongs in the same rank with Moore's classic study. It is a brilliant, thoughtprovoking analysis, which is firmly grounded in historical research. Its geographical and temporal…

A Further Comment on the Energy Crisis; MR and New Outlook
I read with much interest the comments by Andrew Marx and Lawrence Lockwood (MR, April 1974) on the Ackerman- MacEwan article (January 1,974) about the energy crisis. I agree with most of their criticism. But I think it is possible to attempt a more systematic critique. This I will try to give by first of all considering which questions any analysis of the crisis should answer.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where mo…
State Property and the Nature of the Soviet Ruling Class; Managerial Society—The Next Stage of Human History
The core of all degeneration or deformation theories about the Soviet mode of production is the assumption that state property and economic planning are inherently socialist. Their continuing existence is thus considered proof that the USSR has not evolved into a class society and that the bureaucracy is not a new ruling class. This perspective, developed at some length by Trotsky in The Revolution Betrayed (1936), is still represented today in t…
