Treating Historical Thought as Political Thought:On J.G.A.Pocock's Study of the History of Political Thought
By sorting out the different languages used to express political ideas,Pocock attempts to provide a truly historical study of political thought.He pays particular attention to the language constituted by a discourse of history,and examines how it interacts with other political languages.Using the notion of society existing in time as the hinge,Pocock emphasizes that any political thought that expresses the self-understanding of society contains a structure of implications concerning time and suggests that historical thought,narrating the origins and continuity of society.has an embedded political dimension.Pocock's study of intellectual history has always been negotiating between political thought and historical thought,and by reconstructing the latter as a kind of political thought,Pocock effectively enlarges the research scope and writing pattern of the history of political thought.
