An Essay on Metaphysics - Revised edition with introduction and additional material (Paperback, 3 Rev Ed)

An Essay on Metaphysics (1940) is one of the finest works of the great Oxford philosopher R. G. Collingwood (1889-1943): in it he considers the nature of philosophy, especially of metaphysics, and puts forward his original and influential theories of absolute presuppositions, causation, and the logic of question and answer. Three fascinating unpublished pieces by Collingwood have been added for this revised edition: they illuminate and amplify the ideas of the Essay, to which they are closely related. The editor Rex Martin contributes a substantial introduction telling the story of the composition of all these works, discussing their major themes, and setting them in the context of Collingwood's philosophy as a whole.
