This book argues for the value of reading Peter Winch (1926-1997), one of the important philosophers of the 20th century and known especially for his work on Wittgenstein and the philosophy of the social sciences, paired with R. G. Collingwood (1889-1942), famous for his philosophy of history.Both Winch's and Collingwood's seminal works made a deep impact on debates on the aims and methods of the human sciences. Moreover, their similarity on those topics rested on a shared vision of philosophy in general. This is the first book-length treatment of the two philosophers together. The authors make use of untapped manuscript sources and posthumous material published only in the last decades to show that Winch and Collingwood were much closer than expected, and to lay to rest some pervasive misunderstandings. Underneath their shared views on the autonomy of the human sciences was a contextualising approach to logic, language and metaphysics.An accessible articulation of Winch's and Collingwood's thinking on key points, this volume is valuable reading for students and scholars interested in the philosophy of history and social science, presenting a vision of philosophy as an intellectual and existential pursuit.

Parahistory and the Popular Past challenges the tired debate over historical fact versus fiction by focusing on what really matters: how different forms of representation create meaning and establish responsibility. Moving beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries, this book diagnoses a fundamental tension between history's objectives and the generic forms available to achieve them. It develops a pragmatic, present-minded historical consciousness that foregrounds ethical responsibility while engaging with contemporary communicative realities.Through detailed investigations of narrative conventions, genre and historical experience, the book distinguishes between the historical and practical past. Theoretical insights are deepened through sustained analyses of works like Josef Skvorecky's The Engineer of Human Souls, Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, David Lynch's Mulholland Drive and George Saunders' Lincoln in the Bardo. With these analyses, the book develops reading practices to deal with the autonomy of artistic works, demonstrating how they construct complex meanings and reshape audience responsibility. By reconceptualizing the field in terms of a broad history culture, it positions professional history and parahistory as related meaning-making practices, shifting focus from boundary-policing toward the ethical implications of representation for contemporary readers and publics.This book is essential reading for historians, literary scholars and anyone interested in how we make sense of the past.

This Element introduces various justifications for reparations and redress for historical injustice discussed in political theory and philosophy. It examines multiple real-world cases to illustrate and test theories. It is accessible to students and scholars unfamiliar with the field, while providing new arguments for experts in the field, and organizing the debate around reparations in new ways. The Element is divided into four main sections. The first three sections examine different temporal orientations of justice: backward-looking, forward-looking, and structural injustice over time. The fourth section examines Indigenous perspectives and settler colonial theory, which complicate and problematize the temporal orientations and arguments from the other sections. The discussion in this Element is organized around two recurring theses. First, approaches relying on primarily forward-looking justifications could be made more plausible and compelling by incorporating backward-looking elements (and vice versa). Second, past injustice can change what should (publicly) count as justice.
