جزییات کتاب
Following Collingwood’s education and his Oxford career in philosophy, history, and archaeology, Skagestad considers his relationship with prominent Italian philosophers Croce and De Ruggiero and the British idealists. Taking Collingwood’s publication in order he explains under what circumstances they were produced and the reception of his work, by his contemporaries and by posterity, from Religion and Philosophy (1916) and Speculum Mentis (1923) to posthumously published The Idea of History (1946).
Featuring coverage of Collingwood’s early philosophy of art as imagination and his mature philosophy of art as the expression of the emotions of the community, Skagestad also considers his argument, in response to A.J. Ayer, that metaphysics is the historical study of absolute presuppositions. Most importantly, Skagestad reveals how relevant Collingwood is today, through his concept of barbarism as a perceptive diagnosis of totalitarianism and his prescient warning of the rise populism in the 21st century.
