The death of Peter Winch in 1997 sparked a revived interest in his
work with this book arguing his work suffered misrepresentation in
both recent literature and in contemporary critiques of his
writing. Debates in philosophy and sociology about foundational
questions of social ontology and methodology often claim to have
adequately incorporated and moved beyond Winch's concerns.
Re-establishing a Winchian voice, the authors examine how such
contentions involve a failure to understand central themes in
Winch's writings and that the issues which occupied him in his Idea
of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy and later papers
remain central to social studies. The volume offers a careful
reading of the text in alliance with Wittgensteinian insights and
alongside a focus on the nature and results of social thought and
inquiry. It draws parallels with other movements in the social
studies, notably ethnomethodology, to demonstrate how Winch's
central claim is both more significant and more difficult to
transcend than sociologists and philosophers have hitherto
imagined.
