Book Summary of The Idea of a Social Science and Its Relation to Philosophy
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`. isbn
