"Collingwood is as insightful as ever; his observations and
arguments have lost no validity since Principles was
published."--Philip Chandler, College of St. Thomas More
"Without being pedantic, Collingwood is factual and precise; both
his structure and facade are built up of thousands of details, and
the whole forms an integrity, a synthesis, the product of an
ordered mind which puts everything in its place."--John Cournos,
The New York Times
