R.G. Collingwood (1889-1943) was an English philosopher, historian
and practicing archaeologist. His work, particularly in the
philosophy of action and history, has been profoundly influential
in the 20th and 21st century. Although the importance of his work
is indisputable, this is the first book to consider how and why it
actually matters. Giussepina D'oro considers the importance of
Collingwood as a thinker who thinks kaleidoscopically and, unlike
lots of contemporary philosophers, refuses to focus on narrow,
technical interests but instead, observes the whole world of
thought. Why Collingwood Matters revives Collingwood's conception
of the role and character of philosophical analysis and shows how
it informs his understanding of the mind, what it means to act, and
what it means to understand the past historically. It also argues
for the relevance of his metaphilosophical approach to the
challenge posed by the Anthropocene and the global environmental
crisis. Both an elucidation of Collingwood's thought and a lively
exploration of it's contemporary relevance, Why Collingwood Matters
provides a much-needed examination of a 20th-century polymath.
