Ideas in History: Journal of the Nordic Society for the History of Ideas -- Volume 6, No. 1

This peer reviewed journal serves as a forum for diverse perspectives and approaches among historians of ideas and scholars of other disciplines who pursue research on topics in the history of ideas in the Nordic countries. At the same time, the journal wishes to provide a forum of exchange and dialogue between scholars from the Nordic countries and their non-Nordic colleagues and open up the English-speaking world to research from the Nordic community. This book is the result of collaborative efforts among nearly a dozen universities and colleges throughout the Nordic countries. The purpose of these initiatives is to further awareness of research, resources, and activities in the field of intellectual history in the Nordic countries as well as internationally. Ideas in History seeks a pluralism of methodological approaches to intellectual history: reflections on the field, historical contexts studied, subject matter for intellectual-historical investigation, critical understandings of relations between the intellectual past and present as well as the comprehension of culturally, politically and geographically diverse intellectual traditions.
