Talk:Intellectual history

message: I don't have the time or resources to edit right now, but is EVERY SINGLE INDIVIDUAL on the prominent thinkers list male? Seriously? Seriously??? (I didn't have time to click on all the names but I'm guessing an overwhelming majority is also white)??? Seriously? Wow. Y'all couldn't think of a SINGLE WOMAN to put on this list. No one's ever heard of Simone De Bouvoir or Mary Wollstonecraft or Gayatri Spivak. Wow.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.237.240.193 (talk) 18:40, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

I found that in the article. Does that make sense? It's not really a complete sentance, and the arkward way it is worded almost implies that Nazism was supported by the Exitentialists, which im fairly certain it was not. On the contrary, most of the people listed above fought against the Nazis during WW2, right?
It seems like meaningless jargon to me. It's also worth noting that Husserl and a few others in that list had little to nothing to do with existentialism, aside from being important for subsequent generations of intellectuals. --Tedpennings 04:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

message: "This is also fraught with the sentiment of hostility towards, or mistrust of, intellectuals and intellectual pursuits known as anti-intellectualism."
I find this sentence confusing. Is it intended to mean that the discipline of intellectual history is hostile to intellectual pursuits, as with certain extreme post-modernists? Or conversely, that anti-intellectualism poses a threat to the study of intellectual history? What's the idea? Martin Rundkvist (talk) 20:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Fraught with anti-intellectualism" 

message: I propose merging the article History of ideas into this article. A section of this article states that "However, the discipline of intellectual history as it is now understood emerged in the immediate postwar period, in its earlier incarnation as "the history of ideas" under the leadership of Arthur Lovejoy, the founder of the Journal of the History of Ideas. Since that time, Lovejoy's formulation of "unit-ideas" has been developed in different and often diverging directions, some of which more historically sensitive accounts of intellectual activity as historically situated (contextualism), and this shift is reflected in the replacement of the phrase history of ideas by intellectual history", clearly suggesting that the concepts are essentially the same. Furthermore, the history of ideas article mainly talks about Lovejoy's scholarship and would work as part of the history section here. Keepcalmandchill (talk) 08:59, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Lovejoy didn't coin the phrase “history of ideas”. It seems it was coined by Marcelino Pérez Pelayo in 1883. See: this entry and this other. NikaZhenya (talk) 16:55, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Idea not fit for a 5th-grader? 

message: This article is, like many others on the English-language Wikipedia, inaccurate because it is ethnocentric:
"History of Ideas" is a concept and a discipline created in the Spanish language (Menéndez Pelayo: Historia de las Ideas Estéticas (1883).
"History of Culture" and "History of Concepts" are German-language creations.
"Intellectual history" is a concept of French and Central European origin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Antifrasis (talk • contribs) 11:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
