Collingwoods and the Reform of Metaphysics

Most of Colingwood''s critics agree that his thought is plagued by radical discontinuities. In particular they believe that, sometime between 1936 and 1939, he underwent a conversion from ''idealism'' to ''radical historicism'' -- represented by an unpublished but widely publicized declaration in 1939 that ''philosophy as a separate discipline is liquidated by being converted into history.''
