Published posthumously in 1964, this volume contains a fantastic collection of essays by R. G. Collingwood on the subject of art and it's relationship with philosophy. Robin George Collingwood, FBA (1889 â 1943) was an English historian, philosopher, and archaeologist most famous for his philosophical works including âThe Principles of Artâ (1938) and the posthumously-published âThe Idea of Historyâ (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. Contents include: âRuskin not a Philosophical Writerâ, âRuskin's Attitude towards Philosophyâ, âOn the Philosophy of Non-Philosophersâ, âLogicism and Historicismâ, âRuskin as Historicistâ, âThe Anti-Historicism of Ruskin's Contemporariesâ, âThe Unity of the Spirit: Corollaries and Illustrationsâ, âRuskin and Browningâ, etc. 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.
