The Moral Philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe, Paperback / softback Book

The Moral Philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe Paperback / softback

Edited by Luke Gormally, David Albert Jones, Roger Teichmann

Part of the St Andrews Studies in Philosophy and Public Affairs series

Paperback / softback

Description

Elizabeth Anscombe's 1958 essay 'Modern Moral Philosophy' contributed to the transformation of the subject from the late 1960s, reversing the trend to assume that there is no intrinsic connection between facts, values, and reasons for action; and directing attention towards the category of virtues.

Her later ethical writings were focused on particular ideas and issues such as those of conscience, double-effect, murder, and sexual ethics.

In this collection of new essays deriving from a conference held in Oxford these and other aspects of her moral philosophy are examined.

Anyone interested in Anscombe's work all want to read this volume.
