We invited the JHI community to suggest texts related to intellectual history, broadly conceived. Responses spanned histories of childhood, imperial bureaucracy, the concept of work, creativity and AI, and boundaries between literature and history. web.sas.upenn.edu/jhiblog/2026/0…

Today marks the 99th anniversary of the Mahad Satyagraha. Also, The Ambedkar–Nietzsche Provocations is out in the world.

My intellectual biography of Jürgen Habermas as a public intellectual just came out. I had planned on sending him a copy, but it was not to be. At least I got to discuss my ideas with him during a magical visit to his home in Starnberg in June 2024 cup.columbia.edu/book/jurgen-ha…

The newsletter features recent JHI Blog and journal announcements and publications. Happy reading! mailchi.mp/f227731bae33/m…

Do read this paper that identifies the challenges before histories of geopolitical thought, and how those could be met to create new 'adventures in space and time'. Congratulations to Antonio and Luke for editing the latest @GSQ_Journal's special issue!

HLA Hart in 1955 was both extremely anxious over the implications of then undergraduate Ronald Dworkin's views for his own arguments, and so impressed he secured Dworkin's undergraduate scripts and then kept them for decades.

Habermas watch: It's fascinating that both "Commentary" and "First Things" could publish laudatory pieces on his passing, much as "Jacobin" did. What does this tell us? firstthings.com/jurgen-haberma…

@daniel_dsj2110 @marioricciard18 Sleepwalking does so much work as a word here.

"'In Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics When the Rules Fail', Mark Leonard argues the post-war “rules-based order” is finished. And unless the West stops trying to restore the old order, it risks sleepwalking into its own century of humiliation." politybooks.com/bookdetail?boo…

Tomorrow I will give an invited talk @IES_office: "Liberty, Land, and Commerce in English Republican Thought, 1649-1700" – @mkim1789 will also present on Étienne-Géry Lenglet (1757-1834) , "A democrat's view on political equality and economic inequality in the French Revolution"

Richard Gilmore's Emerson as Philosopher, p. 4. I have had this experience with many philosophers, but also the same with Emerson here.

@atulm01 @GSQ_Journal Wow this is quite the paper. Congratulations- looking forward to engaging with this argument more closely.

Glad to share my paper published in @GSQ_Journal on British colonial thought concerning India. May be of interest to people working on global histories of international thought covering sovereignty, geopolitics, and maximalist territorial projects. academic.oup.com/isagsq/article…

@dr_jehrlich This book looks really apt for our times! Looking forward to reading it.

My new article on Barbara Ward's global thinking is out open access. It's part of a really fascinating special issue on geographical imaginaries edited by @Ant_FdO and Luke Ashworth @GSQ_Journal. Global Divisions: The Spatial Imagination of Barbara Ward academic.oup.com/isagsq/article…

For Hobbes judges didn't have to be trained in law, discernible from statutes, but more importantly should have a right understanding of equity and natural reason, in contradistinction to the bad reasoning practiced by specialist judges who sentenced heretics to death by burning.
