Bøger af Peter Winch

This volume makes available Peter Winch's previously unpublished manuscripts on political philosophy. Editorial notes and an interpretive essay show the development of Winch's thinking over time and situate the manuscripts within the broader context of Winch's work.

Draws from the works of such thinkers as Ludwig Wittgenstein, JS Mill and Max Weber to make his case. The author addresses the possibility and practice of a comprehensive 'science of society'.

Professor Winch provides a fresh perspective on the complete span of Simone Weil's work, and discusses the fundamental difficulties of tracing the dividing line between philosophy and religion.
