Abstract
This book review critiques Conceptual History in the European Space by Willibald Steinmetz, Michael Freeden, and Javier Fernández-Sebastián. The publication offers the reader a unique perspective on conceptual history by providing innovative and unique approaches that demonstrate the development of the practice in a post-Koselleckian era. The review will evaluate and dissect the collective essays, as well as the effectiveness of the new dimensions of conceptual history added by the different authors that produced this volume.
Highlights
By means of innovation, the book Conceptual History in the European Space (2017) attempts to illustrate the present condition of the practice of conceptual history in a post-Koselleckian era.[1]
The series reflects on theoretical perspectives rather than a specific analysis by placing its focus on important historic European concepts such as democracy, civilisation, liberalism, and parliamentarism
Freeden revolves around five subjects: the speed and time of conceptual change, comparisons and the conceptualising of concepts, centres and peripheries, multilingualism and translation, and spatial dimensions
Summary
The book Conceptual History in the European Space (2017) attempts to illustrate the present condition of the practice of conceptual history in a post-Koselleckian era.[1].
