There is No Such Thing as a Social Science

Directions in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis

by Phil Hutchinson

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.
