A CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS A BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE METHODOLOGY
OF THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY

A recent issue of the Monist (53, 4, October, 1969) was devoted to the
"Philosophy of the History of Philosophy." The articles were prefaced by an
"Introduction and Bibliography" by Lewis White Beck. The following list is an
addition to that bibliography, omitting those contributions not contained in it
but quoted in other places in the same issue of the Monist.

I add a correction to L. W. Beck's bibliography: the article by Eugenio Garin,
"L'unifft della storiografia filosofica," was published in a journal whose correct title
is Rivista critica di storia della filosofia.
I also wish to point out that, obviously, the methodology of the history of
philosophy would greatly profit from taking into consideration methodological

research in other branches of history. This includes not only general history,
history of science, and the sociology of knowledge (which are rather easy to reach
bibliographically), but also those branches of history less obviously connected
with our interest or less well-known in English-speaking scholarship:
(1) Hermeneutic. This ancient approach, employed again by Joachim Wach (Das
Verstehen, Ttibingen, 1926. Reprinted, Hildesheim, 1966), was revived with major
changes by Emilio Betti (Teoria generale dell'interpretazione, 2 vols., Milano,
1955). It evoked a tremendous response in Germany, culminating in the famous
work by Hans-Georg Gadamer, Wahrheit und Methode, Ttibingen, 1960. The
ensuing debate about this work brought forth a very large number of subsequent
contributions.
(2) Special attention should be paid to the methodology of etymology,
onomasiology and semasiology--branches of philology closely related to the his-
tory of ideas. The most important contributors to this field are Kurt Baldinger and
Helmut Gipper. The point of view of the latter was summed up by H. Gipper and
H. Schwarz in the "Introduction" to their Bibliographisches Handbuch zur Sprach-
inhaltsforschung (Krln und Opladen, 1962). The Handbuch itself, an indispensable
tool for all historians of ideas, has not yet been completely published. Kurt
Baldinger published the following works:

Die Semasiologie. Deutsche Akademie der Wissenschaften, Vortr/ige und Schriften,

Heft 61. Berlin, 1957.
"L'rtyrnologie bier et aujourd'hui." Cahiers de l'Association internationale des Etudes
Franr 11 (1959).

"Probl~mes fondamentaux de l'onomasiologie." Actas del X I Congreso internacional

(3) Also to be kept in mind is the methodology of the history of art, especially
useful in connection with the problem of periodization. In this respect, after the
well-known W. Pinder's Das Problem der Generation (reprinted, Munich, 1961),
it is necessary to mention E. H. Gombrich's Norma e [orma: Critica valutativa e
morfologia stilistica nella storia dell'arte (Torino, 1963. Quaderni della "Biblioteca
filosofica di Torino," No. 6), and the discussion on "Criteria of Periodization in the
History of European Art," in New Literary History 1 (1970).
