@Mattzwolinski @NeilVallelly - check out Reinhardt Koselleck’s seminal piece ‘Social History and Conceptual History. This is a concrete expression of what social history means Moreover, have you read GA Cohen? That’s a real and a very well-known defence of analytic left that you ignore.
@lionel_trolling Hi JG,
I’m reading your book and just want to ask if you intentionally (but unspokenly) point to language used in the 1990s that reflects contemporary political discourse in order to show that our current ideological divide isn’t rare or uncommon in US history. Pretty rad if so!
