    About this ebook

    Early 20th century historian and philosopher R.G. Collingwood contends here that religion and philosophy are more closely intertwined than previously assumed. Arguing that the mind’s workings can be decoded only by self-analysis, and not by scientific methods, Collingwood identifies the characteristics of religion that make it resistant to traditional scientific investigation.
