Really good read for an overview of some of the major views on Nature throughout history, though I have to say I enjoyed more the little side commentaries and thoughtful idea of the author than the schools of thought he was talking about especially in the later chapters.
The reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because I felt that he was pretty boring in explaining the latter part of the book on the modern view of nature, as opposed to the first chapters which were great. Here are some nice quote Really good read for an overview of some of the major views on Nature throughout history, though I have to say I enjoyed more the little side commentaries and thoughtful idea of the author than the schools of thought he was talking about especially in the later chapters.
Here are some nice quotes: "A man who has never reflected on the principles of his work has not achieved a grown-up man's attitude towards it; a scientist who was never philosophized about his science can never be more than a second-hand, imitative, journeyman scientist.
A man who has never enjoyed a certain type of experience cannot reflect upon it; a philosopher who has never studied and worked at natural science, cannot philosophize about it without making a fool of himself. Feb 18, Keith Price rated it it was amazing Shelves: integral-mind-and-materialism. I bought this book somewhere between 35 and 40 or more years ago, have had it in my burgeoning collection ever since and for some reason never quite got around to reading it until now.
I was prompted to have a look by thinking more deeply than before about the meaning of 'naturalism' as opposed to mere 'materialism'.
Some people I know profess to be non-materialist naturalists and I wanted to be able to provide a better critique than I had so far of this position or positions. Well, despite the f I bought this book somewhere between 35 and 40 or more years ago, have had it in my burgeoning collection ever since and for some reason never quite got around to reading it until now. Well, despite the fact that it was published posthumously 74 years ago from a manuscript Collingwood wrote in the late s, I have to regard it as a philosophical classic - a gem of a book with deep insights in at least every other page!
Even his exposition of the Ionian Pre-Socratics makes much more sense to me than anything else I have ever read or listened to on the subject. Usually, they are just those odd individuals who thought the world was just water, or air, or fire etc. Collingwood shows us WHY they thought that way, why exactly it didn't work and how it relates critically to what went after. The exposition unfolds a bit like a detective novel after that, through Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, the Renaissance, the scientific revolution, Idealism his section on Hegel I regard as some of the most insightful commentary I have read - very exciting!
I will be drawing on this material heavily in the near future. Highly recommended! Feb 09, "Hot Rod" Todd Beckett rated it really liked it. So far he's provided a stimulating discussion of the Third Man argument. Collingwood sees the Third Man argument in constructive terms.
That is, rather than being a criticism of the theory of forms, the third man argument illustrates a correct understanding of the theory of forms; namely, the forms are meant to be understood as both immanent imitation and transcendent participation. For Collingwood transcendence and immanence are correlative, not exclusive terms. May 28, John rated it really liked it Shelves: philosophy. Nature, not the nature of the national parks but the nature of form and substance, mind and body, matter and energy, as seen by the Greeks, the Renaissance, and modern science and philosophy.
Granted it is a brief survey and stops with the philosophy of Whitehead but has enough content to stimulate thought and further reading.

The categories of mind and the thing-in-itself remain ruptured since the thing-in-itself is ultimately unattainable. Refuting the fixity of categories of thought, Hegel shifted the focus on process.
Mind, along with all matter organic or inorganic , is subject to a process of becoming. There is no delineated difference between self-knowledge and knowledge of the external natural world because both are products of the same process.
The modern view of nature, then, is different from earlier stages because it introduces life as a mediating category between matter and mind. The focus on life leads to the differentiation of biology as a separate science, and the emergence of evolution as a concept for understanding change and constancy in nature. Bergson made life the centerpiece of his philosophy and saw matter as a by-product of the creative life process.
Shifting from biology back to physics, then, Collingwood inspects the philosophical implications of the criticisms of Newtonian physics in the early twentieth century. This resolves many of the dualisms set up by the Renaissance thinkers and reunified in Hegelian thought. These modern thinkers are able to render a holistic picture of life emerging out of matter and mind emerging out of life. Not entirely convincingly, Collingwood attributes the innovative philosophy of Whitehead to the fact that he was largely unencumbered by the European metaphysical tradition, having been trained as a physicist.
Extrapolating from these tendencies, Collingwood summarizes the modern view of nature as one in which nature is seen in analogy to history. Je nier of mijn leven! Jannes van Everdingen, drs.
