On 12 December 2023, John Greville Agard Pocock passed away. Author of a prestigious body of work specialized in the history of British languages of politics during the early Modern period (1500–1830), his theoretical and methodological perspective played a crucial role in the renovation of the history of political thought and discourse in the English-speaking world and, eventually, further afield. Less well-known outside specialist circles than Quentin Skinner, his contribution to the reconfiguration of the historical study of political thought was equally significant. In his capacity as a theorist of the notion of contextualized languages of politics, he would engage late in his career in a fruitful series of discussions with Reinhart Koselleck on the relevance of the begriffsgeschichtlich program to his own work.
