Symposium on J. G. A. Pocock's Barbarism and Religion: Introduction

The sixth and final volume of J. G. A. Pocock's Barbarism and Religion appeared in 2015; Wolin designates this work an exemplar of "total history" and of "philosophical historiography," in Momigliano's term. The symposium to follow-comprising this introduction by Richard Wolin, essays by Helena Rosenblatt, Jonathan Israel, and Pierre Force, and a concluding response by Pocock-constitutes one of the first critical examinations of Pocock's late work, and arises out of a conference hosted at the CUNY Graduate Center in 2010.
