The book presents the case that...

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 century trend to naturalize its subject matter.

The media continue to headline instances of grossly unethical behaviour in areas of conflict by members of Western armed forces with immeasurable and perhaps irreparable harm to any campaign to win the 'hearts and minds' of the people and to any claim by Western democracies to hold the moral high ground. The solution to the problem is perceived to lie in...
