Abstract
Collingwood's philosophy was profoundly misunderstood by his editor, T. M. Knox, who regarded therapprochements between thought and action and philosophy and history as endorsing scepticism and radical relativism. A more careful examination of the doctrines ofAn Essay on Philosophical Method and the extant unpublished manuscripts in the Bodleian Library will help to get the record straight and support the claim that Collingwood's thought did not suffer from a radical conversion.
