{"product_id":"historicism-herman-paul-9781350121959","title":"Historicism: A Travelling Concept","description":"Throughout the twentieth century, scholars, artists and politicians have accused each other of \"historicism.\" But what exactly did this mean? Judging by existing scholarship, the answers varied enormously. Like many other \"isms,\" historicism could mean nearly everything, to the point of becoming meaningless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet the questions remain: What made generations of scholars throughout the humanities and social sciences worry about historicism? Why did even musicians and members of parliament warn against historicism? And what explains this remarkable career of the term across generations, fields, regions, and languages?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing on the \"travels\" that historicism made, this volume uses historicism as a prism for exploring connections between disciplines and intellectual traditions usually studied in isolation from each other. It shows how generations of sociologists, theologians, and historians tried to avoid pitfalls associated with historicism and explains why the term was heavily charged with emotions like anxiety, anger, and worry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile offering fresh interpretations of classic authors such as Friedrich Meinecke, Karl Lith, and Leo Strauss, this volume highlights how historicism took on new meanings, connotations, and emotional baggage in the course of its travels through time and place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herman Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350121959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350121959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Herman Paul","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43942817300735,"sku":"9781350121959","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_40ef7308-4ded-4ccc-8717-a439005e56fb.jpg?v=1681494528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historicism-herman-paul-9781350121959","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
