   What does Collingwood say about history?

   • Collingwood begins his ‘Outlines of a Philosophy of History’ with a perspicuous description of the problem of the reality of the past: ‘History a parte objecti, the object of historical thought, is of course in some sense real, for if it were not, there would be no sense in which historical judgements could be true, or indeed false.

   What is Collingwood's 'historical evidence'?

   • In ‘Historical Evidence’ Collingwood develops the same argument, the common-sense view of history being named differently, however: ‘History constructed by excerpting and combining the testimonies of different authorities I call scissors-and-paste history’ (IH, 257). This notion has become a well-known slogan of Collingwood’s philosophy of history.

   What is Collingwood's philosophy of history?

   • Collingwood's philosophy of history shares with Gadamer the view that meaning (in Collingwood's case the meaning of an action rather than a text) is not to be identified with inner psychological processes. An action's meaning is to be found in a publicly re-enactable syllogism.

   Does Collingwood believe in scissors-and-paste history?

   • This notion has become a well-known slogan of Collingwood’s philosophy of history. In ‘Historical Evidence’, but also the subsequent chapters of The Principles of History, Collingwood is extremely critical of scissors-and-paste history, even saying that ‘it is not really history at all’ (IH, 257).

   Why did Collingwood write a 'final' book on history?

   • The fact that the first chapter of The Principles of History, Collingwood’s endeavour to write a ‘final’ book on the philosophy of history, is about historical evidence, indicates the importance he attached to the subject. It is the only chapter of the manuscript of the book that has been included by Knox in The Idea of History(249–82).

   • Progress as Dependent on Perspective Or Being Meaningless
   • Progress as Being Meaningful
   • Progress as Being Necessary in Solving Problems

   Collingwood’s rejection of historical realism implies that any suggestion of historical progress being conceived as an ‘objective phenomenon’ is rejected accordingly. In this connection, his usual response is to emphasize that not only the idea of progress, but also the idea of decay, is dependent on the point of view taken up by the historian. Thi...

   ‘In its crudest form’, Collingwood avers, ‘the idea of progress would imply that throughout history man has been working at the same problem, and has been solving it better and better’ (THC, 84). The identity of a certain problem serves Collingwood as a criterion for the meaningful application of the notion of progress. The absence of such an ident...

   Not only does Collingwood claim that with respect to certain aspects of the past the historian is justified in employing the idea of progress, but he also considers that in relation to solving theoretical and practical problems it is necessary. These problems are always passed down from the past, and in order to solve them they have to be reconstru...

   Jan 11, 2006 · Collingwood thus occupies a distinctive position in the history of British philosophy in the first half of the 20th century.

   ‘The philosophy of history, so understood’, Collingwood says, ‘means bringing to light the principles used in historical thinking, and criticizing them; its function is to criticize and regulate these principles, with the object of making history truer and historically better’ (IH, 346).
