2014 Reprint of 1940 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. One of
Collingwood's finest works, "Essay on Metaphysics" considers the
nature of philosophy, and puts forward Collingwood's original and
influential theories of causation, presuppositions, and the logic
of question and answer. From the mid-thirties onwards Collingwood's
work increasingly engaged in a dialogue with the newly emerging
school of analytic philosophy. In this work he attacked the
neo-empiricist assumptions prevalent in early analytic philosophy
and advocated a logical/epistemological transformation of
metaphysics from a study of being or ontology to a study of the
absolute presuppositions or heuristic principles which govern
different forms of enquiry. Collingwood thus occupies a distinctive
position in the history of British philosophy in the first half of
the 20th century. He rejects equally the neo-empiricist assumptions
that prevailed in early analytic philosophy and the kind of
metaphysics that the analytical school sought to overthrow.
