Why should modern philosophers read the works of R. G. Collingwood? His
ideas are often thought difficult to locate the main lines of development taken
by twentieth- century philosophy. Some have read Collingwood as anticipating
the later Wittgenstein; others have concentrated exclusively on the internal
coherence of his thought. This work aims to introduce Collingwood to contemporary
students of philosophy through direct engagement with his arguments. It
is a conversation with Collingwood that takes as its subject matter the topics that
interested him – philosophy and method, the historical imagination, art and expression, action, metaphysics and life – and which still preoccupy us today.
