Description
This Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement volume celebrates the centenary of four remarkable women philosophers who fundamentally shaped 20th-century philosophy. Edited by Anthony O’Hear, the collection brings together scholarly essays examining the enduring legacy of Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch.
Each philosopher made distinctive contributions to ethics, metaphysics, philosophy of action, and moral psychology. Anscombe’s work on intention and moral philosophy, Foot’s revival of virtue ethics, Midgley’s environmental and animal philosophy, and Murdoch’s exploration of consciousness and the moral life continue to influence contemporary debates.
This centenary volume provides critical analysis of their ideas, assesses their philosophical achievements, and considers their relevance to modern philosophical discussions. It serves as an essential resource for scholars and students interested in the history of analytic philosophy and feminist philosophy, offering comprehensive insights into how these pioneering thinkers transformed philosophical discourse.
