Collingwood critiqued which other philosopher's view of history?

  • David Hume

  • Thomas Hobbes

  • Rene Descartes

  • John Locke

Hume believed history to be a cyclical sequence of rise, decline, and rebirth. Collingwood, however, argued that historical events are unique and unrepeatable, and should be studied in their own context rather than as part of a grand pattern.
