There is No Such Thing as a Social Science (eBook, ePUB)

In Defence of Peter Winch

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.
