Russian Politics and Presidential Power
Russian Politics and Presidential Power takes an in-depth look at the Russian presidency and uses it as a key to understanding Russian politics. Donald R. Kelley looks at presidents from Gorbachev to Putin as authoritarian, transformational leaders who set out to build the future, while sometimes rejecting and reinterpreting the work of past modernizers. Placing the presidency in this context helps readers understand both the disintegration of th…

Zachary Sayre SCHIFFMAN. The Birth of the Past
Like Edward Gibbon, Zachary Sayre Schiffman traces the first insight into his life's work to an earlier epiphany. Paralleling Gibbon's musings in the Capitol in Rome during the singing of vespers is Schiffman's “crossing a quadrangle at the University of Chicago somewhere around Botany Pond,” except that, unlike Gibbon, Schiffman introduces his book with the memory instead of relegating it to his memoirs. Here it was that he began to conceive of …

Conclusion
This chapter sums up the key findings of this study on historical inquiry. It explains that the most troubling problems and major imperatives at the start of the twenty-first century are much the same as those which faced Herodotus in the middle of the first millennium B.C. It suggests that at the third millennium A.D., written history is poised between two poles—between fragmentation and synthesis, between analysis and narrative, and between res…
Qu’est-ce qu’une discipline
Quelle est la signification des frontières entre les disciplines scientifiques ? Quelle est l’utilité de leur classification au sein d’un système unifié ? Les intérêts disciplinaires divergents s’affrontent dans un débat politique, ici examiné. L’enjeu varie, selon que l’on veut décrire l’identité sociale, l’identité professionnelle ou l’identité épistémologique des savoirs spécialisés, qui sont enseignés aujourd’hui dans les universités ou catal…

Intellectual History in a Global Age
The history of ideas is an interdisciplinary field that began as an offshoot of the history of philosophy and was transformed by notions of perspective and cultural context drawn from the tradition of historical studies. The result is the practice of intellectual history, which has been carried out between the poles of inquiry commonly known as internalist and externalist, corresponding to mental phenomena and collective behavior in cultural surr…
From the Executive Editor
From the Executive Editor Donald R. Kelley Twenty years ago the Journal of the History of Ideas moved from Temple University to the University of Rochester (through the efforts especially of J. Paul Hunter, then dean of the college of arts and sciences, and Lewis White Beck, professor of philosophy), and I replaced Philip Wiener, who had been editor for forty-five years, the first issue under my supervision being that of July 1985. A year later R…

Eclecticism and the History of Ideas
What we call the history of ideas," Joseph Mazzeo wrote in in 1972, "itself has a history." 1 In this country the history of ideas in the past century has been associated with the American philosopher and founder of this journal, Arthur O. Lovejoy, and his epigones and critics. However, this field has an earlier history sub literam, going back almost two centuries, and a still deeper prehistory before the coinage of the phrase, traceable at least…

What is Happening to the History of Ideas
The “history of ideas” in this country is now entering its second half-century—at least insofar as its principal vehicle, the Journal of the History of Ideas, is just publishing its fifty-first volume. In its American incarnation the history of ideas has been associated above all with the work of the principal of this journal, Arthur O. Lovejoy, his colleagues, his epigones, and some of his critics. Yet ante litteram this field of study has had a…

The Soviet Debate on the Convergence of the American & Soviet Systems
The official Soviet view is critical of convergence theory, but an underground literature argues it. Professor Kelley succinctly summarizes convergence theory's propositions and analyzes the official critique of it, including the denial that: technocratic managers are the ruling class in a postindustrial society, the proletariat disappears, the class struggle softens, and ideology is replaced by simple pragmatism. He examines the dissenters who a…
The Science of Anthropology
Marx's lifelong associations with anthropology are numerous and mutually illuminating. Historically, according to the commonest view, the rise of anthropology occurred in the middle years of the nineteenth century-and so of Marx's own life. At the time of his birth (1818) this field was still part of general philosophy; by the time of his death (1883) it had declared its independence as a separate discipline. What is more, the development of Marx…

Intellectual history and cultural history
What is the relationship between intellectual and cultural history? An answer to this question may be found in the area between the two poles of inquiry commonly known as internalist and externalist methods. The first of these deals with old-fashioned `ideas' (in Lovejoy's sense) and the second with social and political context and the sociology and anthropology of knowledge. This article reviews this question in the light of the earlier historio…
Foundations of Modern Political Thought
Toward a Model of Soviet Decision Making
This research note offers a partial model of decision making in the Soviet Union cast in terms of the level of conflict intensity within the political system, the identity of the major participants, and the corresponding mode of decision-making behavior. It also deals with the rationalization of decision making in the post-Stalin era and the role of interest groups in policy formation. Recognizing the multifunctional nature of decisions made with…

Writing Cultural History in Early Modern Europe

Perestroika-Era Politics
This book is an evaluation of the new legislative politics in the Soviet Union. The contributors examine the uneven progress of electoral and constitutional reform, the composition, organisation, staffing and procedures of the Congress of People's Deputies and the Supreme Soviet, the development of factions, movements and parties on the left, on the right, and of the nationalist bent, the path of executive-legislative relations and case studies o…
Ancient verses on New Ideas
These lines by Andre Chenier famously locate the emotional thrust of romantic literature and art, but they suggest also the more general fascination with the past displayed by writers of many persuasions. They highlight one essential feature of that cast of mind which early nineteenth-century scholars were already beginning to call historicism and which was best realized, perhaps, in what, at least from the 1820s, Augustin Thierry and others were…

Civil science in the renaissance
Civil Science in the Renaissance
In the history of Renaissance thought and learning jurisprudence seems to be a missing term. Not that the scholarship of civil, canon and customary law is itself lacking, or lagging, but it has not been sufficiently integrated with that of other fields, and even in the modern history of the Renaissance ‘encyclopedia’ it does not hold high priority. In some modern views of the studium, in fact, law seems to stand not only below the trivium and qua…
