Subject Group Convenor: Dr Magnus Ryan Web Officer: Dr Waseem Yaqoob The Faculty of History at Cambridge has long been distinguished for study of the history of political thought and the broad field of intellectual history. The interests of members of this Subject Group engage with the multiple contexts, intellectual, political, and institutional in which past political, historical and philosophical texts were written.
Specific interests of Cambridge scholars include the interface between the history of political thought and modern political philosophy, the connections between legal, moral and political thought, the formation of political economy, historiography, the history of natural philosophy and the history of scholarship. Members of the Group remain at the forefront of teaching and scholarship in the field, continually taking the distinctive Cambridge approach to the history of political thought and intellectual history in new directions. Research The Faculty is strong in many different areas of research in political thought and intellectual history, but there are particular concentrations of expertise in the medieval and early modern period, in the period of Enlightenment and the French Revolution, and in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Recent appointments have given the group new strengths in the period after 1800, matching its established strengths in earlier periods. Members of the Department of Politics and International Studies add wide-ranging interests in contemporary political theory. A forum for the research of leading scholars in all periods, from Cambridge and from across the world, is provided by the weekly.
There are frequent public lectures in the field, notably the biennial J. Seeley Lectures in Political Thought and the annual Quentin Skinner Lecture. The Seeley Lecturer in May 2017 was Professor Axel Honneth (Frankfurt and Columbia), on the theme of 'Recognition in three cultural contexts'.
