Journal overview

Intellectual History Review , the journal of the International Society for Intellectual History, is a forum for the intellectual history community, promoting the work and aims of the ISIH as well as the study of intellectual history more generally. As well as articles, IHR regularly publishes literature surveys, and essay reviews of current work in intellectual history and related historical areas.

The journal will construe ‘intellectual’ in the most inclusive and comprehensive sense, focusing primarily on intellectual history from the sixteenth century to the present. It publishes papers addressing the history of philosophy, religion, science, anthropology, psychology and the social sciences and other relevant intellectual formations.

The Editors particularly encourage articles which emphasise the grounding of intellectual work in social, cultural and historical context, as well as historical reflection on the formation and development of intellectual history as a discipline. IHR publishes studies which review the work and achievements of individual intellectual historians along with articles discussing methodological issues, historiographical reflections on the relationship between intellectual history and cognate or competing historical perspectives (e.g. cultural history, the history of ideas and the history of philosophy).

All articles published in IHR have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
