Original English text:
The International Society for Intellectual History
aims to bring together scholars interested in intellectual history from all
countries and disciplines. ISIH was founded in 1994 in London by an
international group of scholars, and a steering committee has been formed,
consisting of Constance Blackwell (Foundation for Intellectual History),
Donald R. Kelley (Rutgers University), Ulrich Johannes Schneider
(University of Leipzig), Wilhelm Schmitt-Biggemann (Freie Universit=E4t,
Berlin), Ann Blair (University of California, Irvine), Edoardo Tortarolo
(University of Torino), Fran=E7oise Wacquet (CNRS, Paris), and Charles
Webster (All Souls College, Oxford).
The ISIH proposes to organise conferences, to publish a newsletter and have
a station on the Internet in order to facilitate and to extend contacts
among scholars with interdisciplinary interests. It will welcome other
projects and act in general as a network of communication and exchange
concerning questions arising in and across the history of various
humanistic and scientific disciplines, with respect to national, cultural
and gender identities. All ISIH members will receive a newsletter which
will appear at least once a year to provide information about conferences
and activities of the society's members.
The ISIH will organise a conference at least every four years. The first
conference will be in the United States in 1997 ("The Idea of Tradition")
and the second conference will take place in Berlin in 1998 ("The History
of Endings"). A future topic may be "Intellectual Quarrels" (1999).
Among other projects the ISIH will sponsor a "Dictionary of Intellectual
Historians," containing essays on major twentieth-century scholars who are
of contemporary importance and a series of reprints of early modern authors
who have contributed to intellectual history.
Dues for membership and the newsletter are $20 (students $10) or =A315
(students =A38). Anyone interested in becoming a member of ISIH should write
to one of the two following addressees:
