There, for this episode I got to choose a picture of England, all blue skies and sunshine! When it starts to rain again,you might want to look into some of the stuff I talked about in the episode. You know, how to actually understand what political theory texts mean to say. To say it’s complicated would understate the challenge, but in good news, it’s not about getting it right but about always asking the questions and keeping in mind that everything you say someone said, is just what you understand they said. You might be missing something. That is a pretty good general rule to follow, I think.
Anyway, the Quentin Skinner Text I refer to has lots of free PDF copies all over the internet, I give link to just one, but should that not work, you are bound to find others.
Quentin Skinner 1969: Meaning and Understanding in the History of Ideas. In: History and Theory, Vol. 8, No. 1, pp. 3-53. https://scispace.com/pdf/meaning-and-understanding-in-the-history-of-ideas-4bw0flhcjo.pdf
And, for those who would like to listen to Skinner himself
Of course, there is more. We shouldn’t forget conceptual history. Here is an interview with Reinhart Koselleck:
