The classical work, The Idea of History, by the British historian Collingwood, was a posthumous work, and was much quoted by historians like E.H. Carr, in his much-praised work, What is History? It proposed history as the discipline from the time of Herodotus to the twentieth century. He considered history as a science, but distinguished it from natural sciences as he defines that history is concerned with social sciences and human affairs.
R.G. Collingwood (1889-1943) was educated at Oxford and was an English philosopher, historian, and archaeologist.
