Abstract
The one major new interest, and it was to become crucial to anyone entering the field in 1970, was the history of science. The historiography of early modern Europe in France had been dominated for decades by the Annales school in Paris. Around 1970, however, there appeared a new interest in the histoire des mentalites, the history of the mental world of the past. Two non- Annales writers, in particular, were to have a broad influence in bringing new subjects to the fore: Philippe Aries and Michel Foucault. The shape of intellectual history thus looks very different in 2012 than it did in 1970. And it is a measure of Michael Heyd's role in the field that these essays by his students and colleagues, like his own works, are such important indicators of the transformations that have taken place. Keywords: the Annales school, modern Europe, Paris
