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. 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 Religion and Philosophy
(1916) and Speculum Mentis (1923) to the posthumously published The
Idea of History (1946). 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 of populism in the 21st century.
