2014 Reprint of 1945 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. The
first part deals with Greek cosmology and is the longest, the most
elaborate and, on the whole, the liveliest part of a book which
never deviates into dullness. The dominant thought in Greek
cosmology, Collingwood holds, was the microcosm-macrocosm analogy,
nature being the substance of something ensouled where "soul" meant
the self-moving. Part II is "The Renaissance View of Nature ."
Collingwood describes the rise and decline of the deists' view of
Nature as a machine designed by the Great Contriver who, having
turned it out, watches it go. Part III, "The Modern View of
Nature," deals with very recent or contemporary philosophy and
science, discerning in it a radical evolutionism first in biology
and later in cosmology. Remains to this day a classic text in the
history of ideas.
