#19 Intellectual History in Face of the Global Future with John Dunn
John Dunn is Emeritus Professor of Political Theory, Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Cambridge and one of three founders of the Cambridge School of intellectual history.
It was an honour for me to speak with John about the globalisation of political thinking. We must develop, Dunn argues, a global history of political thought that in face of globalisation can 'tell the history of the interactive fates of humans themselves.' Dunn reflects on his early experiences in post-war Germany, Iran, India, and Britain, as well as his experiences later in Ghana and with Japanese thinkers, and how they all made the global a stage for his thinking about politics. We discuss the relationship between history and future-oriented political theory and reflect on what it would mean to begin the daunting work of constructing a global history of political thought.
