Collingwood claimed that the historian must “re-enact“ history, and that such a re-enactment is the only explanation needed for historical events. Sounds simple, but is it? Today's video is about: Collingwood, R. G. (1946) The Idea of History. New York: Oxford University Press. Recommended reading: Walsh, W. H. (1967) Philosophy of History. New York: Harper & Row. My name is Jostein, I live in Norway, and work at Volda University College. Currently, I am doing a PhD in history. As part of my theoretical education (and because I like it), I read classics of history and historiography. In this channel, I hope to share my learning with you.
