This will complete a Collingwood trifecta today (aren't you lucky!). This one is by David Pierce, an American logician and mathematician who teaches in Turkey. I just discovered his blog a couple of days ago, and he has a wide range of interests, not the least of which is the philosophy of R.G. Collingwood. The post linked below marks the beginning of a careful walk through the last work published in Collingwood's life, The New Leviathan. I've only begun my trek through this series of posts, but Pierces's commentary adds a delicate sauce to Collingwood's sometimes Spartan sentences. (N.B., Collingwood is a fine stylist and often a pleasure to read, but in NL, he adopts a leaner form and style.)
Enjoy!
