This volume celebrates the centenary of the birth of Elizabeth
Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley and Iris Murdoch. These four
remarkable women were philosophical colleagues in Oxford in the
1940s, and their careers intertwined and overlapped henceforth. The
papers in this book are all by prominent philosophers who spoke at
the Royal Institute of Philosophy's annual lecture series from
2018-9. Together they cover the philosophical careers of Anscombe,
Foot, Midgley and Murdoch, focusing on their thinking on morality,
human nature and action and the place of humanity in the animal and
natural world, all areas to which they made notable and distinctive
contributions. Connexions are drawn to the thought of Wittgenstein,
Aquinas and Aristotle. This book demonstrates the way these four
philosophers individually and collectively changed the direction of
philosophy in the English speaking world in the
mid-twentieth-century and how they continue to influence it one
hundred years after their birth.
