The Principles of Art was first published in 1923. This prolific philosophical essay argues various theories regarding the doctrine of art, the meaning and uses of the word itself, and the psychological theories behind artistic practices. R. G. Collingwood addresses Plato's Republic, which is often thought of as a renunciation of art, and he suggests that the work is nothing of the sort.
