Books by John (Associate Professor of Philosophy Schwenkler

This book is a guide to Elizabeth Anscombe's Intention, which is one of the most important philosophical books of the 20th Century. The present work offers a careful and critical presentation of Anscombe's main lines of argument and emphasizes her debts to Aristotle, Aquinas, and Wittgenstein, and her engagement with the work of then-contemporary authors including Gilbert Ryle and R.M. Hare.
