Collingwood: From History and Method to Art and Politics","description":"Robin George Collingwood (1889-1943) was one of the most important philosophers of the 20th century, with his work spanning theory of knowledge, metaphysics, philosophy of art, philosophy of history, and social and political philosophy. The full range and reach of Collingwood's philosophical thought is covered by Peter Skagestad in this study.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Following Collingwood's education and his Oxford career, Skagestad considers his relationship with prominent Italian philosophers Croce and De Ruggiero and the British idealists. Taking Collingwood's publications in order, he explains under what circumstances they were produced and the reception of his work by his contemporaries and by posterity, from \u003ci\u003eReligion and Philosophy\u003c\/i\u003e (1916) and \u003ci\u003eSpeculum Mentis\u003c\/i\u003e (1923) to the posthumously published \u003ci\u003eThe Idea of History\u003c\/i\u003e (1946). \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Featuring full coverage of Collingwood's philosophy of art, Skagestad also considers his argument, in response to A. J. Ayer, that metaphysics is the historical study of absolute presuppositions. Most importantly, Skagestad reveals how relevant Collingwood is today, through his concept of barbarism as a perceptive diagnosis of totalitarianism and his prescient warning of the rise populism in the 21st century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Skagestad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350152900\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350152908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2022","brand":"Peter Skagestad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44064354205951,"sku":"9781350152908","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68904e9e-90d5-4e6b-bcb3-e7cb375ef2cd.jpg?v=1685394984","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/exploring-the-philosophy-of-r-peter-skagestad-9781350152908","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
