History as Thought and Action

The Philosophies of Croce, Gentile, de Ruggiero and Collingwood
Rik Peters

This is the first book-length study of the relationship between Benedetto Croce (1866-1952), Giovanni Gentile (1875-1944), Guido de Ruggiero (1888-1948) and Robin George Collingwood (1889-1943).



The Foundations of History

Collingwood's Analysis of Historical Explanation
Stephen Leach

This book provides an exposition and critical examination of Collingwood's philosophy of history, in which Collingwood's views are read in the light of his metaphilosophy.



Collingwood and the Crisis of Western Civilisation

Art, Metaphysics and Dialectic
Richard Murphy

This book argues that Collingwood's philosophy is best understood as a diagnosis of and response to a crisis of Western civilisation. He is demonstrated to be working in the traditions of Romanticism and 'historicism'.



Action as History

The Historical Thought of R.G. Collingwood
Stein Helgeby

This study shows how R.G. Collingwood's concepts of action and history developed together.



How Good an Historian Shall I be?

Marnie Hughes-Warrington

In this book Marnie Hughes-Warrington begins with the facet of Collingwood's work best known to teachers — re-enactment — and locates it in historically-informed discussions on empathy, imagination and history education.



Metaphysics, Method and Politics

The Political Philosophy of R.G.Collingwood
James Connelly

This book argues that Collingwood developed a complete political philosophy of civilization. It also demonstrates that his philosophical work comprises a unity in which there is no fundamental discontinuity between his earlier and later writings.
