Reinhart Koselleck (23 April 1923 – 3 February 2006), a German historian widely considered one of the most influential European theorists of history and historiography in the twentieth century.
Constantly probing and transgressing the boundaries of mainstream historical writing, he created numerous innovative approaches and exposed himself to a large range of impulses from other academic disciplines. His writings responded to the work of German philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Hans Georg Gadamer and of political thinkers such as Carl Schmitt. Koselleck’s thought also responded and added to the work of internationally renowned scholars such as Hayden White, Michel Foucault, and Quentin Skinner.
We are proud to offer a selection of texts and FREE access to Contributions to the History of Concepts journal concerning Koselleck’s essential contributions to the fields. Scroll down for details.
