Further Reading

For the debates around Winch, see The Idea of a Social Science (Winch 1958), the essays by Winch, MacIntyre and Lukes in Wilson (1970) and the essay by Taylor (1985). For a good introduction to MacIntyre, see McMylor (1994), but it is also worth reading MacIntyre's own After Virtue (1981). For an excellent introduction to Gadamer and his debate with Habermas, see How (1995). Those who want to plunge into the deep end with Gadamer should have a look at Truth and Method (Gadamer 1989). For a straightforward and powerful advocacy of the notion of narrative see Bruner's paper ‘Life as Narrative' (Bruner 1987).
