Collingwood’sphilosophy, Peter Johnson presents essays on Collingwood as apre-historian, economist, Christian and commentator of EdwardGibbon together with an investigation into the connection betweenhis later works.The chapters shed light on Collingwood’s distinctive account ofpre-history, the relationship between his last great works ThePrinciples of History and The New Leviathan, and his views onmoney in comparison to those of J.M. Keynes. They also considerhis assessment of Edward Gibbon as a historian and his use ofbiblical citation in relation to the work of Thomas Hobbes.Johnson’s insightful reflections and in-depth analysis of a range ofareas in Collingwood’s thinking connects them through historicaland conceptual themes relevant to contemporary debates abouthis philosophy.Uniting important and unique perspectives for understanding thescope and depth of Collingwood’s philosophy, Johnson’s detailedexamination of previously underexplored topics will be welcomedby students and scholars across the philosophy of history, prehistory,economic theory, intellectual history and philosophicalhermeneutics
