| Summary: | The book is the first major study of the philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe (1919-2001), who as well as being a friend and student of Wittgenstein's (and his main English translator) was an extremely important philosopher in her own right, of international standing. She wrote over a wide range of topics, and the book reflects this, aiming to present a unified overview of her substantial oeuvre, and in particular bringing out the interconnections among her ideas. Anscombe wrote two monographs and numerous articles, including many classics; the most famous of these are discussed, but so are a number of less well known pieces. (A bibliography of her writings willbe included.) There have been two or three Festschriften for Anscombe, and interest in her work is increasing rapidly since her death - Harvard University Press reissued her groundbreaking Intention just before she died (2000), and a first volume of her as yet unpublished articles was published in 2005. The Philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe is therefore a timely publication. |
