Since about 2014, I've become quite an admirer of the work of the philosopher R.G. Collingwood (1889-1943). He's best known of his book THE IDEA OF HISTORY (published posthumously in 1946) and other works of philosophy. But he dedicated much of his time before his impending death (of which he was quite aware) addressing the issues raised by the politics of the 1930s. This article by philosopher Jonathan Ree provides a peek at Collingwood's effort to address political issues. It's worth the read--Collingwood's insights seem quite pertinent today.
