Action as History
The Historical Thought of R.G. Collingwood
Part 3 of the British Idealist Studies, Series 2: Collingwood series
R G Collingwood's philosophy of history reflected his historical practices and his moral philosophy. Reflection on historical practice provided him with a theory of knowledge; his moral philosophy provided him with a theory of the object of history. This study shows how Collingwood's concepts of action and history developed together.
