Studies in Intellectual History

Originally published in 1953. In this collection of essays, prominent midcentury intellectual historians provide critical essays on their field of specialty. Studies in Intellectual History gathers work by Harold Cherniss, George Boas, Ludwig Edelstein, Leo Spitzer, and others. George Boas (1891–1980) is the first of nine contributors to this volume. Boas was a professor of philosophy at Johns Hopkins University for over thirty years, a Guggenheim fellow, and a central figure in the Journal of the History of Ideas and the fabled History of Ideas Club.
