Aims of the Research Project
Modern Western political thought is obsessed with the state. However, since Aristotle, it is obvious that the primary scale for human politics is the city (town, polis, city-state, etc). While modern and post-modern challenges to the state opened up new, even wider vistas (empire, global governance), the local is still very much in the shadow in theory and in practice as well. The Reasearch Group in Moral and Political Philosophy of the Institute of Philosophy of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences started this research project to bring the intellectual history and political theory of the city back to scholarly and public discussion.

We focus on the history of Hungarian philosophy, intellectual history as well as history of Hungarian science and humanities in international context, especially from the point of view of the comparative history of Central-European cultures of philosophy. An eminent feature of our work is reflection on methodology as well as on the historiography of philosophy, especially in Hungarian and Central-European context, with regard to the interconnected development of historical narratives on philosophy, humanities, and natural sciences. |
