The new issue of the Journal of the History of Ideas (issue 84, volume 4, October 2023) is now live on Project MUSE.
Over the coming weeks, we will publish short interviews with some of the authors featured in this issue about the historical and historiographical context of their respective essays. Look out for these conversations under the rubric Broadly Speaking.
Included in this issue is a remembrance of the late Donald R. Kelley, who served as executive editor of the journal from 1985 through 2005.
