THE INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR INTELLECTUAL HISTORY
aims to bring together scholars in intellectual history from
countries and all disciplines. ISIH was founded in 1994 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 U.), Ulrich
Johannes Schneider (U. Leipzig), Wilhelm Schmitt-Biggemann (Freie
Universitat, Berlin), Edoardo Tortarolo (University of Torino),
Francoise Wacquet (CNRS, Paris), and Charles Webster (All Souls
College, Oxford).
The ISIH proposes to organize conferences and to publish a
newsletter 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 organize a conference at least every four years.
The first conference will be the United States in 1997 ("The Idea
of Tradition"), and the second will take place in Berlin 1998
("The History of Endings"). Future topics may include "The
Republic of Letters" and Intellectual Quarrels."
Among other projects, the ISIH sponsors 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 who have contributed to intellectual
history.
Dues for membership and the Newsletter are $20 (students $10) or
15 pounds sterling (students 8 pounds). Anyone interested in
