Arthur Onken Lovejoy (
Berlin,
October 10,
1873 -
Baltimore,
December 30,
1962) was an influential
intellectual historian, and the founder of the
history of ideas. As a professor of history at
Johns Hopkins University from
1910 to
1939, he founded and presided for decades over the university's History of Ideas Club, which was a meeting-place for many of the early-to-mid-
twentieth century's foremost intellectual and social historians and literary critics. He also founded the
Journal of the History of Ideas. Lovejoy's "history of ideas" was notable for its insistent focus on "unit-ideas," single concepts (often expressed in single words) which it traced as they were expressed in different combinations through time.
