This volume takes a fresh approach to the issue of `space' in intellectual history and puts forward novel ways of rendering conceptions of space useful for historians of political thought.

Notions of `space' have become increasingly important to the practice of intellectual historians in recent years. This is evidenced by emerging locutions such as `the international turn', `global intellectual history', and `political space'. Thus far, however, it is still unclear what it actually means to take `space' seriously in intellectual history, and what we might gain from doing so. Ranging from the early modern period to the twentieth century, the contributions to this volume span a variety of diverse topics and showcase the rewards of a spatial focus in intellectual history, both as a kind of place and as an organising principle. The book reconstructs the role of the modern territorial state in grounding reflection on political legitimacy; the interface between oceans and empires as a source of political reflection; and the curious antecedents of today's spatial turn in German and Indian visions of geopolitics in the interwar years. In doing so, it makes a contribution to an ever-growing field.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Intellectual History.
