Essays in the Philosophy of History скачать fb2

Published posthumously in 1965, this book contains various essays by R. G. Collingwood concerning history, philosophy, and their relationship. The essays mostly concern the idea of a 'philosophy of history', exploring its aims, limitations, and relevance. Highly recommended for students of philosophy and collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. Contents include: “Croce's Philosophy of History”, “Are History and Science Different Kinds of Knowledge?”, “The Nature and Aims of a Philosophy of History”, “Oswald Spengler and the Theory of Historical Cycles”, “The Limits of Historical Knowledge”, “A Philosophy of History”, “A Philosophy of Progress”, etc. Robin George Collingwood, FBA (1889 – 1943) was an English historian, philosopher, and archaeologist most famous for his philosophical works including “The Principles of Art” (1938) and the posthumously-published “The Idea of History” (1946). This fascinating volume will appeal to those with an interest in Collingwood's seminal work, and is not to be missed by students of philosophy and art. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume today in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
