R.G Collingwood's prolific works have shaped the debate about the
nature of civilisation and its status as an ideal governing art,
morality and social and political existence. As one of the few
philosophers to subject civilisation and barbarism to close
analysis, R.G Collingwood was acutely aware of the
interrelationship between philosophy and history. In Peter
Johnson's highly original work, R.G Collingwood and the Second
World War: Facing Barbarism, Johnson combines historical,
biographical and philosophical discussion in order to illuminate
Collingwood's thinking and create the first in-depth analysis of
R.G Collingwood's responses to the Second World War. Peter Johnson
examines how R.G Collingwood's responses to the war developed from
his early rejection of appeasement as a policy for dealing with
Hitler's Germany, through his view of Britain's prosecution of the
war once the battle with Nazism had been joined, and finally to his
picture of a future liberal society in which civility is its
overriding ideal.
