There is no such thing as a social science: In defence of Peter Winch

Phil Hutchinson, Rupert Read, Wes Sharrock

Research output: Book/ReportBook

Abstract

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. © Phil Hutchinson, Rupert Read and Wes Sharrock 2008.
