Intellectual history is referred to in different terms. In the United States it is called cultural history, while in western countries it is called the history of ideas, the use of this term is not just pleasure, but is related to the development of knowledge in the two regions. Intellectual history is called cultural history, considering that intellectual history only occurs when sociological knowledge is already established, in this case the naming of cultural history is related to sociology which means that culture is the result of thought. Meanwhile, in Western countries it is more based on philosophy, which emphasizes ideas and ideas. Thus, intellectual history in Europe emphasizes more on ideas, ideas and thoughts. ___________________________________________
___________________________________________ The main problem in intellectual history is that it includes the activities of human thoughts, such as the work of philosophers, artists, writers, and specific scholars such as the philosophy of literature, religion, science and art. However, the scope of history fails in seeking to be limited to a summary of these various data, but rather to look back and examine the dissemination of ideas and thoughts from a figure in a particular society and understand the relationship between ideas and the importance of ideas having non-intellectual characteristics. This latter study is how a person's thoughts affect the history of a particular society. Meanwhile, from the point of view of intellectual history, it tries to tell who produced what works and how their works become knowledge that is owned by the community. ___________________________________________
___________________________________________ Intellectual history emphasizes the emergence of ideas and thoughts from a person and the development of these ideas and thoughts and their influence on people's lives. Thus, the history of philosophy seeks the cause and effect of an idea, thoughts and ideas from one's work. For example, Karl Marx's thoughts on socialism emerged at a time when Europe was experiencing industrialization, and his thoughts developed throughout Europe which encouraged the labor movements in Europe, in contrast to the history of philosophy and the history of science. Usually philosophical historians have an interest in explaining to philosophers or students of philosophy the ideas of other philosophers, which can be criticized, evaluated, changed form, or even blamed them. It may try to find explanations for different ideas in the history of a particular philosopher and in his entire environment, but he can also discuss ideas that are being considered.
