This chapter first discusses the scope of re-enactment, then Collingwood's supposed intellectualism, rationality in Collingwood's subject-matter of history, his exclusion of perception, appetite, and emotion from the proper subject-matter of history, and how the idea of re-enactment can apply to the history of art and metaphysics.
