Intellectual historians claim that their subject is not a sub-field of history but an approach that promotes a better understanding of the whole spectrum of the human historical experience. It is inherently interdisciplinary as it explores sources and phenomena in literature, philosophy, art etc. that have their own traditions of historical inquiry. At CEU, we apply and challenge current methodologies to the historical study of ideas as they migrate across cultural, linguistic and other contexts. We place a great emphasis on the dialogue, confrontation and negotiation between (the) Western canon(s) and non-Western, including non-European traditions of thought.
