Descrizione
Riepilogo:Anscombe first became famous in Oxford for her opposition to the awarding of an honorary degree to President Truman. Very soon thereafter, however, the publication of Intention established her as an important figure in British philosophy. "Modern Moral Philosophy" marked her difference from contemporary Oxford moral philosophers and introduced a set of ideas that subsequently had great influence. At Oxford she was a singular figure but extremely welcoming to graduate students. While she gave much time to the translation, interpretation, and teaching of Wittgenstein's philosophy, she also doubted its compatibility with the Catholicism, to which she had converted and to which she was staunchly committed.
