Rengger, history, and the future of international relations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Nicholas Rengger had a vision of the practice of international relations transformed by engagement with intellectual historians and political philosophers. What this entailed in full never became clear because of his early death. That there was a mission and a vision is clear from the chapters here collected. The ‘Afterword’ probes some of the responses to Rengger’s work, especially to his Anti-Pelagian Imagination. It goes on to consider the Hungarian historian of political and economic thought István Hont’s work as a related and in some respects parallel critique of the study of international relations to that of Rengger.
