Rethinking R.G. Collingwood

The book explores R.G. Collingwood's philosophical ideas through a reinterpretation of Hegel's thought, highlighting Collingwood's unique defense of liberal civilization. It emphasizes his approach as a revisionary critique that transcends Hegel's teleological historicism, advocating for a dynamic understanding of rationality that integrates theory and practice. By contrasting Collingwood's views with contemporary thinkers like Rawls, Lyotard, and MacIntyre, the text illustrates the ongoing relevance of his philosophy in today's discussions on liberalism.
