Chinese translation of “Political Thought in an Age of Conformity”

This book is a comprehensive dialogue on the research paradigms, contexts and genealogies, meetings and controversies, horizons and cares of the history of political thought, covering many genres and traditions, time and place, text and language, individuals and groups. The book includes dialogues between the author and 21 important thinkers, spanning the fields of historical theory, political philosophy, critical theory, cultural history and intellectual history, and presents the relationship between many schools of thought and research approaches, reflecting the different orientations of the Cambridge School of Intellectual History, the Italian School of Microhistory, the Strauss School, the Frankfurt School, and the Berkeley School. The comparison confirms the ideological connotations of economic history, maritime history, music history, international history, classics and philology, conceptual analysis and psychological analysis. The interlocutors are representative figures from various fields, including Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and India, covering ancient Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages and the early modern period, humanism and the Enlightenment, classical political economy and modern and contemporary social theory. The dialogue not only explains the internal logic of texts and ideas, examines the rhetorical context and normative claims of the interlocutor, but also responds to questioning and criticism in speculative interaction.
