The Discipline of History and the History of Thought

Although much as been written of the nature of history and its disciplinary problems, less attention has been paid to the history of thought. M. C. Lemon's rigorously philosophical work first re-asserts the discipline of history in general as narrative based, before pursuing the methodological implications for the history of thought. This original work of scholarship will raise the level of argument in philosophy of history and provoke debate among historian, philosophers and political theorists.
