A propos de cet article

Frontispiece photo of Anscombe + TP + v-vi = Contents + vii-ix = List of Contributors + xi-xii = Biographical Note + xiii-xvi = Preface + xvii-xix = Bibliography of Books and Papers by G. E. M. Anscombe + half title + 3-265 + 1 blank leaf, Octavo. First Edition. A collection of 17 essays by friends, colleagues and students collected and edited by Cora Diamond and Jenny Teichman for presentation to Anscombe on her sixtieth birthday. Besides a clear focus on her singular contributions to the philosophical dialogue of the previous forty years - most especially in relation to a more Wittgensteinian approach to ethics - several of these essays also highlight Anscombe's central importance in bringing back into the light the ongoing relevance of earlier philosophical thinkers. As stated in Diamond's Preface:She has made the questions of the past live ones for her contemporaries, and sent philosophers back to Hume and Descartes, to Aristotle and Aquinas, Hobbes and Berkeley and Parmenides, whom she has helped us to read in new ways.And, concluding that same paragraph, Diamond notes that:More than anyone else, she has helped readers of Wittgenstein to find their own way in his writings and has shown with great imagination and ingenuity the usefulness of his philosophical techniques. Publisher's original dust jacket over blue boards with gilt lettering on the spine. An immaculate and fine copy of this important collection lauding Anscombe's immense contributions to 20th century philosophy. ADDITIONAL PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.
