نویسندگان
چکیده
Quentin Skinner is an intellectual historian known for his pioneering work on early-modern European political thought. He was educated at Bedford School and Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Author of such works as The Foundations of Modern Political Thought (1978) and Visions of Politics (2002) he served as the Regius Professor of History at the University of Cambridge, and currently as the Barber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities and Co-director of The Centre for the Study of the History of Political Thought at Queen Mary University of London. Professor Skinner has traveled worldwide to share his philosophical insights. Recently, he delivered a lecture at the University of Chicago’s Neubauer Collegium, entitled “How Should We Think about Freedom?” And on September 9th 2016, Professor Skinner discussed his intellectual journey and political visions with the Chicago Journal of History at his house in London. Chicago Journal of History (CJH): Thank you for joining us in this conversation. Let’s begin with a question about the discipline itself. How would you distinguish the work of an intellectual historian from that of philosophers, political theorists, and historians of ideas, among others, who employ different methodologies to study the same texts?
