Packet 4: Bonus 4

This thinker argued that, unlike in the sciences, overlap of classes is a regular feature of philosophical distinctions in his treatise An Essay on Philosophical Method. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this English philosopher who rejected semi-empiricist methods in An Essay on Metaphysics. He also wrote The Principles of Art and The Idea of History.
ANSWER: R. G. Collingwood [or Robin George Collingwood]
[10h] Collingwood wrote that the purpose of philosophy is not to answer questions but rather to uncover these ideas, which give rise to questions. These “absolute” statements, which have no truth values, name Collingwood’s analytical method.
ANSWER: absolute presuppositions [or presuppositional analysis]
[10e] Collingwood thought that presuppositional analysis allowed for the study of metaphysics without this field, the study of being. Anselm formulated an argument for God’s existence named for this field.
ANSWER: ontology [accept the ontological argument; reject “deontology”]
