From Facts to Thoughts: Collingwood's Views on the Nature of History
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2009
Extract
There is a common distinction between two aspects of history: history as the object dealt with and history as the way of dealing with the object. Within the “objective” aspect of history one may distinguish between the attempt to define the object as man and the attempt to define it as process. Within the “subjective” aspect there is the prevailing tendency to put forward the nature of the onceptual method as one employing individual concepts.
