The Territories of Philosophy in Modern Historiography
Year: 2019
Type: book
Abstract: In the recent past, critical discussions concerning notions such as ‘cultural area’ and ‘area studies’, as well as their relativizations by means of conceptions that avoid splitting clearly identified areas (inter alia, ‘third space’, ‘hybridity’, ‘diaspora’, or ‘cosmopolitism’), drew attention to the long history of cultural territorialization. This book attempts to open the history of philosophy to reflexive and globalizing tendencies elaborated in the field of ‘world history’. From the seventeenth century onward, in both modern Europe and North America, historical sciences—notably philosophical historiography and cultural history—colonized both the past (or national pasts) and the ‘rest’ of the world. The contributions gathered in the present volume address both phenomena to the extent that they have been linked with modern historicization of philosophy, sciences, and culture.
