Sammanfattning

Artikeln granskar Peter Winch bidrag till samhällsfilosofin. Winch följde två teman, av vilka det ena är mer explicit och konventionellt än det andra. Hans första tema var kritiken av kontraktteorin om samhället. Hans andra tema kan bäst karakteriseras som handlingsbegreppets primat framom åskådandet. Detta långvariga filosofiska intresse var besläktat, men inte identiskt, med ett annat intresse som också var typiskt för hans arbetssätt: en betoning på det enskilda fallet framom det generella. Handlandets perspektiv i studiet av etik och politik innebär en strävan att förstå hur en individ kan känna sig manad till handling av omständigheterna.
