Politics and 'the fragility of the ethico-cultural'

Author:Lassman, P

Article Title:Politics and 'the fragility of the ethico-cultural'

Abstract:
This article takes up Peter Winch's remarks concerning 'the fragility of the conditions under which ethical conceptions can be active in social life'. It explores Winch's discussion of political concepts and his account of the nature of politics. There are two related themes: a concern with the nature of political concepts; and a recognition (a reminder?) of the way in which disagreement belongs to our idea of politics.
