Review Quotes: "Often considered to be Collingwood's best book both in terms of content and style...the publication of this new edition of Collingwood's Essay is indisputably good news. The editors, James Connelly and Guiseppina D'Oro, have done a meticulous job in their selection of a number of Collingwood's previously unpublished manuscripts for inclusion alongside the Essay itself... For historians of twentieth-century philosophy wanting to understand the origins of analytical philsophy more fully this new edition should prove invaluable."--Peter Johnson, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
