Lacapra sobre historia intelectual
"As historians reduced texts to mere documents, literary critics and philosophers reduced history to background information"
"Literary criticism and philosophy are in many ways the `heavy sectors` of self-reflexive and self critical theory at the present time"
"If intelectual history is anything, it is a history of the situated uses of language constitutive of significant texts. In this sense, nothing related to the problem of language is alient to it"
"Hence intelectual history should be a history of intellectuals, of the communities of discourse in which they function, and of the varying relations they manifiest toward the larger culture"
