Abstract.: The aim of this paper is to offer a tentative attempt to un-
derstand Intellectual History, particularly John Milton´s justification
of Regecide, in terms of grounding beliefs. Grounding beliefs are the
set of basic beliefs which should be taken into account in order to
understand the reasons and ends to which a particular political text
is meant to aim. As a result of that, two major obstacles in Quentin
Skinner’s approach to Intellectual History are emphasized. One is the
rejection of motives and reasons, and the other the limited extent of
the notion of convention, as the key concept to unfold the meaning of
the text.
