The Oxford Handbook of Elizabeth Anscombe

Elizabeth Anscombe was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century, as well as a friend, pupil and the main translator of Ludwig Wittgenstein. She wrote on a wide range of philosophical topics, publishing a handful of books and a large corpus of articles in her lifetime. This collection of twenty-two essays on the philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe by an international array of experts in the field covers intention, ethical theory, human life, the first person, and Anscombe on other philosophers.

Roger Teichmann is Lecturer in Philosophy at St Hilda's College, Oxford. He is a leading authority on the work of Elizabeth Anscombe and the author of a number of books including The Philosophy of Elizabeth Anscombe (OUP, 2008) and Nature, Reason and the Good Life (OUP, 2011). A collection of his essays, Logos and Life, is forthcoming from Anthem Press. With John Berkman he is co-editing a volume of Anscombe's writings on Wittgenstein to be published by Oxford University Press.
