Slightly later, Sima Qian (c. 145–c. 86 B.C.E.), the court historian of the early Han Dynasty, produced the first Chinese version of a universal history, a chronically and thematically organized account of the two millennia of China’s history from its (legendary) origins to Sima Qian’s own time. Considered abstractly, universal history seeks to account for the complexity of human history in a rational and systematic manner by assimilating individual historical events and phenomena to a general scheme or narrative. There are two fundamental aspects of this process (to which Olivier Pot and Maike Oergel refer in their essays below): the syntagmatic, which follows the chronological succession of events, and the paradigmatic, which identifies connections and patterns among events and thereby establishes the coherence of history as a whole. By virtue of this second aspect, universal history distinguishes itself from chronicle. The genre of universal history has its own history, however, and a principal aim of this special issue of I.H.R. is to explore some of the variety and complexity of that history. The contributors—including the late Maurice Olender, whose death on 27 October 2022 we profoundly regret and to whose memory we dedicate this issue—address questions of form and content, method and aims, explicit and implicit assumptions of selected universal histories. We focus on the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries because, during these centuries, the genre became a preoccupation of Western European historiography precisely as its practice became increasingly problematic, owing to such factors as religious conflict, secularism, scepticism about the universalist claims of reason, and, not least, increasing geographical knowledge and cultural encounters (especially with non-Western societies) through exploration, trade, and colonization. The assumption that history could be theorized holistically, as if from a privileged vantage point outside it, had to contend with expanding empirical evidence of the multiplicity of human languages, cultures, and customs. To an extent, historiographical challenges similar to those that instigated the Greek genre of universal history—the need, with Alexander the Great’s Eastern conquests and the subsequent Roman conquest of Greece, to explain new events, lands, and peoples—later threatened the genre’s continuation and prompted, among the figures examined in the following essays, a rethinking of its basic assumptions and methods.

Wirzbicki considers the role of African American Transcendentalists and their appeal to a “higher law,” a concept articulated significantly by a diverse group of thinkers associated with Transcendentalism. By 1850, such thinkers appropriated aspects of British and continental idealism, especially the relationship between “understanding” and “Reason,” to aggressively attack human chattel bondage. In doing so, they not only reflected the tenets of America's broader intellectual ethos (i.e., notions of democracy) but also cultivated the ground for philosophy in the postbellum period.KEYWORDS: higher lawTranscendentalismCharles FortenWilliam C. NellFugitive Slave Actlaboranti-capitalismRalph Waldo EmersonHenry David ThoreauThomas Sidneyabolitionantislavery Notes1 Douglass, “Letter to Thomas Auld (September 3, 1848)”, 111.2 Arendt, Men in Dark Times, ix.3 Consider the debates over gun control in the United States. Opponents of increased gun legislation often encourage a time of mourning over that of exploring the causes and working through solutions to address the problem. We should, of course, take time to mourn, but mourning and thinking about what to do about gun violence are not mutually exclusive. I often wonder whether the appeal to mourning is a way to put off discussions about solutions, demonstrating that this kind of public pietism only exacerbates the anti-intellectual strand of American society.4 Craig, “Interpreting Violence with Richard J. Bernstein”, 197.5 For French philosopher Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592), death is a constant companion of the philosopher. He capitalized on the notion that the objective of philosophy is to learn to die. Knowing how to die, he said, “delivers us from all subjection and constrain.” This understanding of death is, at the same time, the source of liberation. I believe that Montaigne’s position, which seems more in line with Stoicism, would not necessarily speak to the condition of the slave. The slave would certainly come to understand their limitations, but not in a general or universal sense of the predicament of human nature. Instead, slaves came to understand their world in and through the shadow of death. This is different from recognizing death and the need to find ways to live with such a reality, which makes death not so much of an enemy. Rather, for slaves, death was an enemy, and the philosophies of liberation demanded a rebellion against that enemy. Philosophy is the activity of not only preparing for death but also seeking to escape it, which highlights philosophy’s religious dimension. In seeking understanding, the philosopher seeks liberation; liberation, in turn, moves us ever closer to a deep sense of salvation.6 Meyns, “Why Don’t Philosophers Talk About Slavery?”.7 Foucault quote in El-Ra Radney, “Why Afric","PeriodicalId":39827,"journal":{"name":"Intellectual History Review","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135643146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
