The purpose of this collection of articles is to introduce the methodology of one of the most influential trends in modern Western intellectual history: the Cambridge School of Political Language Studies. The book is divided into three parts. The first part contains the fundamental theoretical manifestos created by Quentin Skinner and John Pocock. The second includes classic texts discussing the basic methodological principles of the Cambridge School, as well as its relationship to the theory of Begriffsgeschichte and Michel Foucault's archaeology of knowledge. The third section contains works designed to show the possibilities of applying the Cambridge method in researching key subjects in the history of Russian political language: The formation of the secular language of politics in the eighteenth century, the idioms and notions of property of Catherine the Great, the language and context of the publication of Chaadaev's first Philosophical Letter, the rhetorical moves and arguments in Vera Zasulich's court defense, the evolution of the repertoire of republican notions of virtue and corruption in eighteenth- and twentieth-century Russia, and the historiosophic languages in Yegor Gaidar's The State and Evolution.
