My favorite source for sorting out what meaning we are attempting to  
understand as intellectual historians is 
 
Skinner, Quentin. 1969.  "Meaning and Understanding in the History of  
Ideas."  I forget the original journal, but the article was recently reprinted  
in *Meaning and Context: Quentin Skinner and his Critics,* edited by  
James Tully (Princeton Univ. Press). 
 
The issues Michael Gibbons talks about are handled very well there.
