Meer over het boek

Focusing on the groundbreaking contributions of four female philosophers during World War II, this biography reveals how Iris Murdoch, Philippa Foot, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Mary Midgley forged a new philosophical tradition at Oxford. With male counterparts away at war, these women sought to address profound questions about identity, freedom, and morality, responding to the era's chaos. Their collaborative spirit not only fostered intellectual growth but also personal connections, leading to a vibrant exploration of ethical thinking that remains relevant today.
