The Idea of History

Robin George Collingwood (22 February 1889 – 9 January 1943) was a British philosopher and historian. Collingwood is most famous for his book The Idea of History, a work collated from various sources soon after his death by his pupil, T. M. Knox. The book came to be a major inspiration for philosophy of history in the English-speaking world. It is extensively cited, leading one commentator to ironically remark that Collingwood is coming to be "the best known neglected thinker of our time".

The Idea of History is the best-known work of the great Oxford philosopher, historian, and archaeologist R.G. Collingwood. It was originally published posthumously in 1946, having been mainly reconstructed from Collingwood's manuscripts, many of which are now lost. This important work examines how the idea of history has evolved from the time of Herodotus to the twentieth century, and offers Collingwood's own view of what history is. For this revised edition, Collingwood's most important lectures on the philosophy of history are published here for the first time. These texts have been prepared by Jan van der Dussen from manuscripts that have only recently become available. The lectures contain Collingwood's first comprehensive statement of his philosophy of history; they are therefore essential for a full understanding of his thought, and in particular for a correct interpretation of The Idea of History itself. Van der Dussen contributes a substantial introduction in which he explains the background to this new edition and surveys the scholarship of the last fifty years.

读后感

看完《历史的观念》，我最想知道，柯林武德活了多少岁。一个研究历史哲学的朋友告诉我，1940年代，50多岁。于是我情不自禁的联想，在他50多岁过世的时候，不知是何感受，在一览众山小的时候，他究竟是一种落寞还是一种骄傲。因为人们真正发现并理解他所构建的那座高峰的时候离...  

开始这本书之前，我对历史的认识，仅仅是过去发生的事。 此外，我想要从历史中知道的问题是——对于生命，对于信仰应该怎样思考，我的性格中，认为从过去的思想中给我指导是对的，这一点可以确定，不会改变，因为过去的伟大人物坚强的在他们的思想之上完成了一生。 而这本书提...  

<历史的观念>我感觉是一本纯理念的书,没有一定的耐心是没有办法攻克它的.里面的内容很多是我所看不懂的,需要有一定的历史性知识的人来阅读.我读了这本书之后唯一的认识就是书告诉我们,哲学是反思的,所以历史也是反思的,我不怎么会读这本书,但不能不承认这是一本好书,值得推荐.

一、关于“历史哲学” 柯林伍德是分析的历史哲学的代表人物。在柯林伍德的思想中，哲学和历史之间的关系，也可以从一个不同的角度去看。他在1938年所写的《自传》中说：“迄今为止，以我五十岁的眼光看来，我一生的工作一直主要是在哲学和历史之间努力带来‘和解’。”柯林伍德...  

先且不管翻译的难度造成的一些误解，但是对我这样哲学知识浅薄的理工生而言，这样一本书的确不可谓难度不大，也应该是我花费单位时间最多的一本书了。但是看到某些会心之处，又止不住大呼精彩的冲动。 不得不说，这样一本书对我有着颠覆性的作用，自认以业余水...  

用户评价

介绍西方历史研究历程的佳作，可惜耐性不够，费时浩瀚也只读了前两章。倒是被Hegel的历史哲学观点所吸引，若有余力再去读中译版。

读了25天= =最后还是中文版和何老救了回来

David推荐用来补习史学史

没有读完，只读了三分二，genius

中文版刷完了……二刷英文版...
