In the fiftieth anniversary of this book 's first release, Winch
's argument remains as crucial as ever. Originally published in
1958, The Idea of a Social Science and Its Relation to Philosophy
was a landmark exploration of the social sciences, written at a
time when that field was still young and had not yet joined the
Humanities and the Natural Sciences as the third great domain of
the Academy.
A passionate defender of the importance of philosophy to a full
understanding of 'society' against those who would deem it an
irrelevant 'ivory towers' pursuit, Winch draws from the works of
such thinkers as Ludwig Wittgenstein, J.S. Mill and Max Weber to
make his case. In so doing he addresses the possibility and
practice of a comprehensive 'science of society'.
