Item Description:Includes bibliographical references and index
Introduction : the legendary Peter Winch and the myth of 'social science' -- Beyond pluralism, monism, relativism, realism, etc. : reassessing Peter Winch -- Winch and linguistic idealism -- Seeing things for themselves : Winch, ethnography, ethnomethodology, and social studies -- Winch and conservatism : the question of philosophical quietism
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
