2014 Reprint of 1946 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. R. C.
Collingwood (1889-1943) was an English philosopher and historian.
Collingwood is most famous for his book "The Idea of History." The
book came to be a major inspiration for philosophy of history in
the English-speaking world. It is extensively cited. According to
Collingwood, the science which is dedicated to the study of mind is
history. Collingwood's philosophy of mind and action is thus to be
found in his philosophy of history, primarily in "The Idea of
History" (1946). The claim that history is the study of mind is
prima facie counter-intuitive because many of us tend to think of
history as a descriptive science of the past rather than as a
normative science of thought. Collingwood's claim that history is
the study of mind is in line with the distinction between the
Naturwissenschaften and Geisteswissenschaften that is found in
continental philosophy of social science.
