There is No Such Thing as a Social Science: In Defence of Peter Winch

by Phil Hutchinson, Wes Sharrock, Rupert Read, et al.

Book Overview

The revived interest in Peter Winch's work since his death in 1997 provoked this exciting new volume. A focus on the misrepresentation he suffered through a failure to understand central social and philosophical themes in his writing, encouraged the authors to re-establish a Winchian voice and examine how his central claim is both more significant and more difficult to transcend than sociologists and philosophers have hitherto imagined.
