Danish term or phrase: åndshistorisk
Det er ganske vist utroligt at Bjørnson under de givne omstændigheder skulle have anskaffet sig Kierkegaards artikel om Fru Heiberg, men dette er imidlertid mindst lige så sandsynligt som at to forskellige forfattere skulle have formuleret to næsten enslydende analyser af to forskellige skuespillerinder, blot fordi de begge tilhører den samme åndshistoriske periode.

A possible alternative is:
... the historical spirit of the times/period
- since "ånd" in this particular context refers to the (intellectual) spirit of the times.

philosophical (era)


Explanation:
Jeg synes, 'intellektuel' er for bredt, for dette udtryk beskriver jo om så mange felter, det kan være det litterære, kunstneriske osv., åndshistorisk er mere idehistorisk, mener jeg.
Det er svært at oversætte dette ord, så jeg vil foreslå 'filosofisk'.
Og måske 'era' i stedet for 'period', da det drejer sig om en tradition, snarere end en tidsmæssig afgrænsning.
