Multicultural conversations: The nature and future of culture, identity and nationalism
Despite well-known criticism of multiculturalism in Britain, the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Australia, India and elsewhere since 9/11, such policies have proliferated ( Banting and Kymlicka, 2013 ; Mathieu, 2018 ) and the Canadian and Australian policies of multiculturalism have since celebrated their 50th birthdays. Political theories of multiculturalism have proliferated in this period too ( Lenard, 2022 ; Modood, 2007/2013 ; Patten, 2014 ; …
Peter Skagestad: Exploring the Philosophy of R. G. Collingwood: From History and Method to Art and Politics
Art, Magic and the Corruption of Consciousness
The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief account of part of Collingwood’s philosophy of art, in particular that dealing with the relationship between art, craft and magic, in relation to the corruption of consciousness, and to consider some of the implications for the aesthetic evaluation of ‘works of art’ produced as moral or political propaganda. I shall try to do this by drawing on the work of Matthew Kieran in relation to art and moral…
The public interest environmental law group: From USA to Europe
The European environmental movement has been reconfigured since the introduction of the pan-European public interest environmental law group based on the model founded in the USA around 1970. Yet it has been claimed that there is a low degree of success in transplanting legal practices from one national space to another. Examination of the successful transplantation of a US legal model to the European context by the law group ClientEarth shows bo…
A Late Victorian Family Life: The Typically Untypical World of The Collingwoods of Lanehead
This paper examines the Collingwood family of Lanehead, Coniston, in the UK’s Lake District. It shows that the family itself was a unity which allowed for the emergence of brilliance on the part of at least one of its members, R. G. Collingwood. It argues that his emergence was the outcome both of his education and of the family habits inculcated into him by his parents and shared with his siblings from an early age and operative throughout their…
Collingwood, Scientism and Historicism
The philosophy of history is undergoing something of a revival. Much has happened since its heyday in the 1960s when methodological discussions concerning the structure of explanation in history and the natural sciences were central to the philosophical agenda. This introduction revisits Collingwood’s contribution to the philosophy of history, his views on the relation between science and history, and the possibility of historical knowledge sugge…

Dialogues with Contemporary Political Theorists
I am sure that many must have shared my own experience of speaking with philosophers and political theorists, which is that having spoken to them it somehow seemed easier to understand and appreciate their written words, especially where those written words seemed cold and forbidding by contrast with a person who was engaging and welcoming. Unfortunately, we are not always in a position to meet personally all those whose books we would like to re…
Russell and Wittgenstein on Logical Form and Judgement: What did Wittgenstein Try that Wouldn't Work
I n this article, I pay special expository attention to two pieces of philosophically relevant Wittgenstein–Russell correspondence from the period leading up to the ultimate demise of R ussell's Theory of Knowledge manuscript (in J une 1913). This is done in the hopes of shedding light on Wittgenstein's notoriously obscure criticisms of Russell's multiple relation theory of judgement. I argue that these two pieces of correspondence (the first, a …

The Meaning of Intention and Meaning in Mark Bevir and Vivienne Brown
Bevir's weak intentionalism construes meanings consisting in the understanding of a specific individual and they are identifiable solely by reference to that individual, by contrast with strong intentionalism, whereby a text expresses prior purposes of the author and a text has meaning only by virtue of the determining will of its author, so that to understand what a text says, we must recover what its author meant. Bevir's approach is to focus o…

Rethinking R.G. Collingwood: Philosophy, Politics and the Unity of Theory and Practice
Patrolling the Boundaries of Politics: Collingwood, Political Analysis and Political Action
Debates over whether a certain thing is (or ought to be) construed as ‘political’ are frequent and frequently interminable. This article argues that approaches to the proper understanding, scope and application of political concepts should recognise that they are both normative and contestable and also that, because they are employed by both theorist and theorised, they can never be sharply defined. It is argued that many debates achieve no theor…
An essay on philosophical method
An Essay on Philosophical Method contains the most sustained discussion in the twentieth century of the subject matter and method of philosophy and an unparalleled explanation of why philosophy has a distinctive domain of enquiry that differs from that of the sciences of nature. This new edition of the Essay focuses on Collingwood's contribution to metaphilosophy and locates his argument for the autonomy of philosophy against the twentieth centur…

Facing the past: Walter Benjamin's antitheses1
This paper examines some of the work of Walter Benjamin in the philosophy of history. It suggests that his work, including the famous “Theses on the Philosophy of History” contains important insights of interest to those engaged in reflections on history. Benjamin was concerned to argue against what he saw as the distorting effect of certain views in the philosophy of history and a belief in progress which he saw as having damaging practical effe…

This paper explores the lifeworlds of international youth involved in climate and/or environmental social action, narratives that have been largely absent from a literature that has tended to focus on 'traditional' youth activists located in the urban Global North.Written as a novel collaborative autoethnography involving youth as co-authors, the paper a) collectively reflects on the stories of youth from different countries and cultures on their…
R.G. Collingwood and the Idea of a Historical Psychology
R.G. Collingwood's antagonism to scientific psychology is notorious. As a philosopher, especially an Oxford philosopher, such antagonism was hardly exceptional. Yet, in fact, Collingwood's attitude to the new science of psychology was remarkably ambivalent. He showed a keen interest in developments in the new science, regarded Freud as one of the greatest living scientists, and indeed himself pursued a full course of analysis. Nevertheless, Colli…

Since 1978 scholars have had access to Collingwood's unpublished manuscripts which in that year were deposited in the Bodleian Library. These manuscripts are an invaluable resource for all those interested in Collingwood's thought: they supplement his published work and help to show more clearly the development of his thought as a whole. fact that the Bodleian manuscripts constitute a substantially complete collection of Collingwood's unpublished…
