2014 Reprint of 1942 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. R. G.
Collingwood (1889-1943) was a British philosopher and practicing
archaeologist best known for his work in aesthetics and the
philosophy of history. "The New Leviathan," originally published in
1942, a few months before the author's death, is the book which R.
G. Collingwood chose to write in preference to completing his
life's work on the philosophy of history. It was a reaction to the
Second World War and the threat which Nazism and Fascism
constituted to civilization. The book draws upon many years of work
in moral and political philosophy and attempts to establish the
multiple and complex connections between the levels of
consciousness, society, civilization, and barbarism. Collingwood
argues that traditional social contract theory has failed to
account for the continuing existence of the non-social community
and its relation to the social community in the body politic. He is
also critical of the tendency within ethics to confound right and
duty.
