Abstract

This essay compares R. G. Collingwood and Peter Winch regarding their views on logic. Collingwood was an important source for Winch, more so than is usually acknowledged. More importantly, they pursued parallel views on what philosophy should be. For both, the central question about logic was its status as a representation of actual thinking. Both contrasted an ‘Aristotelian’ conception of logic with a ‘Socratic’ conception.
