Synopsis
This work of metaphysics seeks to overhaul the notion of the philosophical method, assigning philosophy the task of "thinking out the idea of an object that shall completely satisfy the demands of reason". He saw natural science and history falling short in their accounts of our knowledge and limited in their aims. Propositions in philosophy, he believes, must have the scope of both natural science and history, to be both universal and categorical. The essay is also relevant as an embodiment of the idealistic metaphysics Collingwood abandoned in later life.
