He was a practising Anglican throughout his life. Philosopher [ ] Philosophy of history [ ] Collingwood is widely noted for The Idea of History (1946), which was collated from various sources soon after his death by a student,. It came to be a major inspiration for philosophy of history in the English-speaking world and is extensively cited, leading to an ironic remark by commentator that Collingwood is coming to be 'the best known neglected thinker of our time'. Collingwood thought that history can not be studied in the same way as natural science because the internal thought processes of historical persons cannot be perceived with the physical senses, and past historical events can not be directly observed. He suggested that a historian must 'reconstruct' history by using 'historical imagination' to 're-enact' the thought processes of historical persons based on information and evidence from historical sources. Collingwood pointed out a fundamental difference between knowing things in the present (or in the natural sciences) and knowing history. To come to know things in the present or about things in the natural sciences, 'real' things can be observed, as they are in existence or that have substance right now.
Philosophy of art [ ] The Principles of Art (1938) comprises Collingwood's most developed treatment of questions. Collingwood held (following Croce) that works of art are essentially expressions of emotion. For Collingwood, an important social role for artists is to clarify and articulate emotions from their community.
Political philosophy [ ] In politics Collingwood defended the ideals of what he called liberalism 'in its Continental sense': The essence of this conception is. The idea of a community as governing itself by fostering the free expression of all political opinions that take shape within it, and finding some means of reducing this multiplicity of opinions to a unity.
Archaeologist [ ] Collingwood was not just a philosopher of history but also a practising historian and archaeologist. He was, during his time, a leading authority on: he spent his term time at Oxford teaching philosophy but devoted his long vacations to archaeology. He began work along.
The family home was at Coniston in the Lake District and his father was a leading figure in the Cumberland and Westmorland Archaeological Society. Collingwood was drawn in on a number of excavations and put forward the theory that Hadrian’s Wall was not so much a fighting platform but an elevated sentry walk. He also put forward the suggestion that Hadrian's defensive system also included a number of forts along the Cumberland coast. He was very active in the 1930 Wall Pilgrimage for which he prepared the ninth edition of Bruce's Handbook. His final and most controversial excavation in Cumbria was that of a circular ring ditch near Penrith known as in 1937. It appeared to be a Neolithic henge monument, and Collingwood’s excavations, failing to find conclusive evidence of Neolithic activity, nevertheless found the base of two stone pillars, a possible cremation trench and some post holes. Sadly, his subsequent ill health prevented him undertaking a second season so the work was handed over to the German prehistorian, who queried some of Collingwood’s findings.
However, recently, Grace Simpson, the daughter of the excavator F.G. Simpson, has queried Bersu's work and largely rehabilitated Collingwood as an excavator. He also began what was to be the major work of his archaeological career, preparing a corpus of the, which involved travelling all over Britain to see the inscriptions and draw them; he eventually prepared drawings of nearly 900 inscriptions. It was finally published in 1965 by his student R.P. He also published two major archaeological works. The first, somewhat surprisingly for a philosopher was The Archaeology of Roman Britain, a handbook in sixteen chapters covering first the archaeological sites (fortresses, towns and temples and portable antiquities) inscriptions, coins, pottery and brooches.
Mortimer Wheeler in a review, remarked that 'it seemed at first a trifle off beat that he should immerse himself in so much museum-like detail but I felt sure that this was incidental to his primary mission to organise his own thinking'. However, his most important work was his contribution to the first volume of the Oxford History of England, Roman Britain and the English Settlements, of which he wrote the major part, adding the second smaller part on English settlements. The book was in many ways revolutionary for it set out to write the story of Roman Britain from an archaeological rather than a historical viewpoint, putting into practice his own belief in 'Question and Answer' archaeology. The result was alluring and influential. However, as wrote, 'The general reader may discover too late that it has one major defect.
It does not sufficiently distinguish between objective and subjective and combines both in a subtle and apparently objective presentation'. The most notorious passage is that on Romano-British art: 'The impression that constantly haunts the archaeologist, like a bad smell, is that of an ugliness that plagues the place like a London fog'.
Collingwood’s most important contribution to British archaeology was his insistence on Question and Answer archaeology: excavations should not take place unless there is a question to be answered. It is a philosophy which, as points out, has been incorporated by English Heritage into the conditions for Scheduled Monuments Consent. Still, it has always been surprising that the proponents of the 'new' archaeology in the 1960s and the 70s have entirely ignored the work of Collingwood, the one major archaeologist who was also a major professional philosopher. Author [ ] Outside archaeology and philosophy, he also published the travel book The First Mate's Log of a Voyage to Greece (1940), an account of a yachting voyage in the Mediterranean, in the company of several of his students.
