Produktbeschreibung

How did Collingwood become Collingwood? It is by thinking through the nature of persons, art, play, history, archaeology, anthropology, ideas, perceptions, consciousness, logic of question and answer, realism, race, and understanding David Hume. Collingwood had skirmishes with Margaret Hattersley Bulley (on art), Jean-Antheme Brillat-Savarin (on taste; on food), George Herbert Mead (on history), and others along the way. These became chapters in this book, and you can follow along on this journey.
