Abstract
This chapter explores how intellectual historians have studied visions of international and global politics. I focus on some of the contrasting purposes that have been claimed for historical scholarship, and I survey assorted debates that have shaped the field in recent years. The first section, ‘Practices and Purposes’ outlines some of the roles that have been claimed for intellectual history, from illuminating the tangled development of human thought to informing contemporary theorizing. The second section, ‘Trends and Trajectories’ discusses topics that have drawn attention in recent years, focusing especially on empire and disciplinary history. The final section, ‘Exclusions and Expansions’ examines long marginalized themes, above all gender and race, and highlights how work addressing them is pushing the field in exciting new directions.
