Quentin Skinner emphasized the importance of analyzing the authenticity of classical texts and authors' intentions in academic research, laying a solid foundation for the promotion and in-depth study of conceptual history research methods. Skinner believes that we should not focus on classics text, but should focus on the overall social and political vocabulary of a particular historical period. Only by placing the text in an appropriate ideological environment and examining the relationship between the discourse in the text and the broader context can reveal the basic intention of the author's speech, that is, the general social and political background.
