This article surveys recent practices of and methodological reflections on intellectual history in English-language scholarship and identifies some notable trends, including global intellectual history, the cultural history of intellectual practices, as well as the application of digital tools in the study of intellectual history. It also briefly discusses ways in which such scholarship may contribute to the understanding of modern history, and suggests that the study of modern Chinese intellectual history in Chinese academia as recently practiced has much to offer for cross-cultural conversations.
