Publisher's Synopsis
"An Essay on Philosophical Method" is a 1933 treatise looking at the idea philosophy with reference to its definition, relevance, history, relationship with religion, and more. 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). Other notable works by this author include: "Religion and Philosophy" (1916), "Roman Britain" (1923), "The Map of Knowledge" (1924). Contents include: "The Problem", "Philosophy Must Raise the Question What Philosophy Is", "Three Suggested Ways of Approaching this Question", "The Way to be Followed Here: An Account of Philosophical Method", "Importance of this Subject at the Present", 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.
