History as a Science: The Philosophy of R.G. Collingwood

by W.J. Van der Dussen

Since its appearance in 1981 History as a Science has been welcomed as a coherent and comprehensive review and analysis of the many aspects of Collingwood[s philosophy of history, the development of his views, and their reception. The book was the first to pay extensive attention to Collingwood[s unpublished manuscripts, and to his work as an archaeologist and historian. With the publication of this volume Jan van der Dussen, opened up a new angle in Collingwood studies. The republication of this volume meets an increasing demand to make the book available for future Collingwood scholars, and people interested in Collingwood[s philosophy. Apart from verbal changes to improve readability and a new pagination, the manuscript is the same as the original.
