In Debate with Kari Palonen
In Debate with Kari Palonen is a collection of 48 essays written by scholars from a great variety of research fields.

The Politics of Parliamentary Procedure
Currently, parliament as a political institution does not enjoy the best reputation. This book aims to recover less known political resources of the parliamentary mode of proceeding. The parliamentary procedure relies on regulating debates in a fair way and on constructing opposed perspectives on the agenda items. The British House of Commons provides the closest historical approximation for the parliamentary ideal type of politics. This book deals with the formation and conceptual change in the Westminster procedure, based on the way they are interpreted in the tracts on procedure. The tracts illustrate the changing parliamentary self-understanding from the 1570s to the present and the grow...

Dutt, Carsten: Inhalt / Vorwort. Rebenich, Stefan: Reinhart Koselleck und die Alte Geschichte. A tour through Reinhart Koselleck's extensive library shows his intimacy with Greek and Latin texts, almost reminiscent of the Humanist postulate ad fontes. Furthermore, the paramount importance of Greek historiography is obvious in Koselleck's efforts to formulate a theory of history and gauge the possibilities and limits of historical knowledge.

Archiv für Begriffsgeschichte. Band 62: Jean Starobinski
Seit seiner Gründung durch Erich Rothacker war das Archiv für Begriffsgeschichte immer beides zugleich: ein Hort materialer Forschung und ein Forum theoretischer Besinnung. Der vorliegende Band knüpft an diese Tradition und das ihr innewohnende Wissen um die Interdisziplinarität der Begriffsgeschichte mit Stellungnahmen zur Beantwortung der Frage nach dem Sinn und Nutzen der Disziplin an: »Wozu – noch immer – Begriffsgeschichte?« Hinzu treten Abhandlungen über Comenius' Kulturbegriff, John Lockes Einführung des Terminus (the) Self, Kierkegards Sprung, Nicolai Hartmanns Theorie der Philosophiegeschichtsschreibung und Reinhart Kosellecks Wende zur Pragmatik. Ein Schwerpunkt ist dem begriffshistorischen Œuvre des Genfer Literaturwissenschaftlers Jean Starobinksi gewidmet, dessen methodisches Eigenprofil die ihm gebührende Aufmerksamkeit hierzulande noch nicht gefunden hat.
Agents of the People
Analysing parliamentary references to the people, this book provides a more nuanced interpretation of eighteenth-century re-evaluations of democracy. It shows how interaction between parliamentarians and the public sphere in different political cultures produced more modern conceptions of the legitimacy of political power.
