Features: Today, knowledge is increasingly demonstrating specialization and particularization, making the return to more universal ideas an inherent need for the development of all disciplines. To this end, Journal of Intellectual History has been launched. Some scholars attempt to break through the confines of academic disciplines and explore the generation and value of ideas within historical contexts. We believe that the birth of this journal will advance the practice of intellectual history studies and guide readers into new realms of thought. This issue features special recommendations on the insightful elaborations and unique understandings of prominent Western intellectual historians such as R.G. Collingwood, Alfred North Whitehead, B.F. Skinner, and Annette Lacsapra on the "meta-problems of intellectual history."
