Abstract

The notion and practice of context is highly contested in intellectual history. But few have outlined and discussed its various levels and expressions for use in actual intellectual history research. This article provides a first mapping of the various different ways intellectual historians use contexualised readings dividing it up into
four clusters of contextualizations: individual context, situational context, linguistic context, and finally cultural and social context. The article also discusses various criticisms of and interventions in the context debate arguing that context, whatever it may mean and however we choose to do it, is inseparable from any intellectual
history practice.
