"Collingwood's views on history have played a vital role in the discussions on philosophy of history since World War II and in recent studies their importance has again been endorsed. However, there is no aspect of his contributions in this field about which his interpreters do not disagree. This is primarily due to the fact that nearly all interpretations have been exclusively based on the posthumously published Idea of History, without sufficiently realizing that it is hardly possible to give an accurate account of Collingwood's ideas on history resting only on this book. In this study, which gives the first systematic discussion of Collingwood's philosophy of history, Collingwood's ideas on the subject are put into a broader context. Two new areas are extensively dealt with which were unknown before or neglected until now: Collingwood's unpublished manuscripts, which have been available since 1978, and his contributions to archaeology and history (Collingwood was an acknowledged expert in the field of Roman Britain). The book consists of three parts. In the first the development of Collingwood's views on history is discussed, developing the thesis that there is a dividing line between the writings before and after 1926. Then an analysis is given of The Idea of History and the many discussions it roused, showing a remarkable diversity of interpretations. The second part discusses the unpublished manuscripts and Collingwood's contributions to archaeology and history. The manuscripts give an extremely important insight into Collingwood's views on history. They are not only clarifying with regard to many controversial issues, but also show the ideas Collingwood developed on a subject like anthropology, which were not known before. Following this, Collingwood's contributions to archaeology and history are dealt with, concentrating on their methodological aspects. It is shown that there is indeed a clear connection to be seen between his theoretical views on history and his archaeological and historical practice. In the final part of the book an attempt is made to give a general interpretation of the most important aspects of Collingwood's philosophy of history. Not only traditional issues are dealt with, such as the notorious re-enactment doctrine, but also issues that have hardly received any attention until now.".
