About this title

Synopsis

This early work by Robin G. Collingwood was originally published in 1924 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Speculum Mentis' is an academic work on the subject of philosophy. Robin George Collingwood was born on 22nd February 1889, in Cartmel, England. He was the son of author, artist, and academic, W. G. Collingwood. He was greatly influenced by the Italian Idealists Croce, Gentile, and Guido de Ruggiero. Another important influence was his father, a professor of fine art and a student of Ruskin. He published many works of philosophy, such as Speculum Mentis (1924), An Essay on Philosophic Method (1933), and An Essay on Metaphysics (1940).

Review

?As its title indicates, this volume aims in a sense to be The Mirror of the Mind, ' and no other book of recent years has so clearly explored the territory of thought. With a persuasiveness that carries the reader inevitably on, with illustrations that clarify complex problems, anticipating objections with reasoned refutation, the author moves with startling certainty among the so-called provinces of the mind, analyzing the various forms of expression developed in man.?-Literary Review
