DESCRIPTION:What are the classics of humanistic sc
 holarship? Most historians of science or historian
 s of philosophy would be able to produce a list of
  classical texts within their field in a short tim
 e. Such texts are well known, often reproduced, an
 d recommended in syllabi and readers around the wo
 rld. Nothing similar exists for the history of the
  humanities. Even if much debate in recent decades
  has criticized the idea of canons, there may be g
 ood reasons why we need one. An established list o
 f classics would not only make the history of huma
 nities a more teachable topic, but also to promote
  new research in the field. On the one hand, such 
 a list could inspire scholars to reinvestigate the
  classics. On the other hand, it could provoke oth
 ers to question what should and should not be cons
 idered classics, as it has happened in recent deca
 des in other historical fields.
