This entry contains the German text of Reinhart Koselleck’s response to the papers given at the meeting in December, 1992 at the German Historical Institute, Washington to commemorate the completion of the lexicon, Geschichtliche Grundbegriffe. Published in English translation, Koselleck’s Offene Fragen an die ›Geschichtlichen Grundbegriffe‹, presented inter alia, the fi rst major confrontation between German Begriffsgeschichte, as practiced by Koselleck, and J. G. A.Pocock, speaking for the Cambridge School dominant in the English-speaking world, Koselleck’s German text is accompanied by a Note summarizing his reply to the critique by Pocock, who invoked arguments previously made by Quentin Skinner. Also included are the views on Begriffsgeschichte now held by Skinner and Pocock twenty years later.
