Elizabeth Anscombe (1919-2001) was one of the most important
philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century, making
major contributions in philosophy of mind, ethics, and metaphysics.
She is particularly renowned for her work on intention and action.
A pupil and friend of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Anscombe showed a deep
understanding of his aims and methods, while being a bold and
original thinker in her own right. Anscombe published two
monographs and numerous articles in her lifetime, and left a
considerable Nachlass. The monograph Intention (1957) has been
hugely influential and has generated much discussion, as have such
articles as 'Modern Moral Philosophy' and 'The First Person'.
(Indeed, 'Modern Moral Philosophy' has been credited with inspiring
that renewal of interest in virtues and character which came to be
embodied in a whole school of thought, often called 'Virtue
Theory'.) Profound, often difficult, sometimes provocative, her
work is probably unique in modern philosophy for its combination of
breadth and depth. Now, to allow researchers and advanced students
to make better sense of Anscombe, her major works, and the
developments it has encouraged, Routledge announces this new
four-volume collection in its acclaimed Critical Assessments of
Leading Philosophers series. Henceforward, Anscombe scholars and
students will be able easily and rapidly to locate the best and
most influential critical scholarship, work that is otherwise often
inaccessible or scattered throughout a variety of specialist
journals and books. With material gathered into one easy-to-use
set, researchers and students can now spend more of their time with
the key journal articles, book chapters, and other pieces, rather
than on time-consuming (and sometimes fruitless) archival searches.
Fully indexed and with a comprehensive introduction newly written
by the expert editor, which places the collected material in its
historical and intellectual context, Elizabeth Anscombe is an
essential reference work and is destined to be valued as a vital
research resource.
