摘要：Was Collingwood a relativist? This certainlywas the received view. For example, in hisvery influential What is History? thehistorian E. H. Carr quoted the followingpassage:‘St. Augustine looked at Roman history fromthe point of view of an early Christian;Tillemont, from that of a seventeenth-centuryFrenchman; Gibbon, from that of aneighteenth-century Englishman; Mommsen,from that of a nineteenth-century German.There is no point in asking which was theright point of view. Each was the only onepossible.’ (Knox 1946, xii)
