With the current revival of interest in the philosophy of R. G. Collingwood, Giuseppina D'Oro has written this detailed examination of Collingwood's 'Essay on Philosophical Method', bringing fresh insight to Collingwood's approach. What is distinctive about D'Oros work is her retrieval and reconfiguration of themes from the Essay on Method, the close linking together of the Essay on Method with Collingwood's intricate and controversial 'Essay on Metaphysics' and the engagement of Collingwood's thought with the preoccupation's of contemporary Anglo-American philosophy.
