Books that mark the history of the Humanities since early-modern humanism
(for heuristic purposes only)
Simon During
The point of this list is to help us come to terms with shifts that are reshaping our sense of the
humanities, by which I mean the global humanities (rather than various local humanities) as
they now exist for the worldwide university system.
The humanities are increasingly being considered as a meta-discipline, by which I mean that
those who work in disciplines like history, philosophy, cultural studies . are increasingly
regarded as being just in the humanities. That is especially true from the outsidei.e. as the
humanities are seen by administrators, politicians and the general public.
So it is time for us to think more carefully about what is at stake in this new perspective on the
humanities. Revisionary histories and theories are required.
In this context, three features of the longue dure humanities seem especially relevant.
First, they are divided between their ideal and their material conceptualizations: between
being understood as forms of knowledge which express and develop general human values
and understanding, and being understood just as a discipline (or faculty or school) or suite of
disciplines within the university system.
Second, their history is marked by quite radical transformations and mutations, of which the
most important happened in the late sixties and is still in play. But, at least for me, they still
centre on Philosophy, History, the Classics and the study of Language and Literature.
Third, although at the moment the humanities can only be conceived as simultaneously
transnational and Western, that may become decreasingly true, to the degree that South
Asian and Chinese universities (say) can draw on their own traditions and insert them into
the global academy.
As to the list itself: it confines itself to one book per author; it isnt too fussed about the very
fuzzy border between the social sciences and the humanities; it is chronological; it begins with
what we used to call Renaissance Humanism; it tries to avoid being too tied to English
language books; it becomes increasingly arbitrary as it proceeds, especially for the last decade
or two where I have included works that I and some of my Facebook friends think may still
mean something fifty years from now.
I had no hard and fast criterion in drawing up the list, but did consider a number of factors
including:
1. Fame.
2. Influence on other scholars especially across languages and disciplines.
3. Innovation: I tried to include books that ground, or are regarded as grounding, new
disciplines, sub-disciplines or movements.
4. Non-technicality: I avoided books that were too specialist, even where they were
famous and innovative.
5. Representativeness: some books here just represent particular shifts and trends across
the humanities.
6. Capacity to contribute to a longue dure narrative about the humanities (which creates a
more conservative canon than some would like).
7. Interest in reflecting on the humanities themselves: I preferred books that themselves
possess a sense of their place in the history that the list signals.
