Summary/Abstract: The introductory part of the article presents an account of the formative period of the historiography of ideas in which the historical beginnings and later developments of the discipline are discussed. The introductory part is followed by an analysis of the studies of one of the most renowned Western historiographers, Arthur Oncken Lovejoy, with special notice being paid to the methodological aspects of these studies. The three main themes under scrutiny are as follows: (1) the idea as the object of a historiographic study; (2) the methods of historiography in a practical and theoretical perspective; and (3) points of divergence between historiography and philosophy.
