Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. This is a further volume of papers by Elizabeth Anscombe, edited by her daughter and son-in-law, philosophers Mary Geach and Luke Gormally. In 2005 St Andrews Studies published a volume of essays by Anscombe entitled "Human Life, Action and Ethics", followed in 2008 by a second with the title "Faith in a Hard Ground". Both books were highly praised. Of the first, Philippa Foot observed, "The essays show the extraordinary originality and great interest of Anscombe's work in action theory and moral philosophy." Of the second, Alasdair MacIntyre wrote "This is an excellent and unusually rewarding book .she always takes her readers to the point at which they are considerably better placed to pose their own further questions than they would otherwise have been." This third volume brings essays on the thought of historical philosophers in which Anscombe engages directly with their ideas and arguments. Many are published here for the first time and the collection provides further testimony to Anscombe's insight and intellectual imagination. "In the latter half of the twentieth century Anscombe could hold her own with any philosopher in the world." (Anthony Kenny). ".truly one of the great philsophers of the twentieth century." (Hilary Putnam). Elizabeth Anscombe thought deeply, wrote beautifully, and was never taken in by pretence. Roger Scruton G.E.M.
