Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewAs intellectual history takes a global turn, the field urgently needs inspiring examples and salutary skepticism. Global Intellectual History provides both in equal measure through multiple models drawn from exceptionally broad expanses of both time and space. The result is a milestone, a collection of the first importance for global historians and intellectual historians alike. -- David Armitage, Harvard University, author of Foundations of Modern International Thought
