This volume collects the author's political and related writings. He places political action in the context of action as a whole, and addresses substantive social and political issues, in particular Nazism and Fascism.

This book brings together for the first time the political and related writings of R.G. Collingwood (1889-1943), the great Oxford philosopher, historian, and archaeologist. Including a great deal of previously unpublished or inaccessible material, the writings place political action in the context of action as a whole and addresses substantive social and political issues, particularly Nazism and Fascism, which Collingwood recognized as a threat to European civilization.

Collingwood's relaxed incisiveness and moral activity are here displayed in their sharpest and most engaging form ... sympathetic and thorough study
