This chapter restates the purpose of the book and sketches a way for critical international theory to be reoriented towards a historical mode of theorizing. Accepting the humanist and civil Enlightenment view that historical modes of knowledge are just as valuable as philosophical modes, the Conclusion suggests that critical international theory could do worse than think about addressing the ‘literate statesman’ and pursuing more modest reformist agendas aimed at combating the encroachment of metaphysics on politics. After distinguishing the contextual approach to history from post-Marxist and constructivist theories, the chapter proposes thinking of contextual intellectual history as a form of critical theory that can help international relations cultivate the ethical comportments and personae required to pursue the ends of civil Enlightenment. It also enables us to historicize our conceptions of theory, the international, and the critical.
