The volume is the first comprehensive revisiting of conceptual history on a European scale It is also the first volume to consider the spatial and temporal dimensions of making comparisons of concepts across the whole of Europe. The volume also brings to bear diverse methods of analysis within the general framework of conceptual history
The result of extensive collaboration among leading scholars from across Europe, Conceptual History in the European Space represents a landmark intervention in the historiography of concepts. It brings together ambitious thematic studies that combine the pioneering methods of historian Reinhart Koselleck with contemporary insights and debates, each one illuminating a key feature of the European conceptual landscape. With clarifying overviews of such contested theoretical terrain as translatability, spatiality, and center-periphery dynamics, it also provides indispensable contextualization for an era of widespread disenchantment with and misunderstanding of the European project.
