Metaphysical Animals

Focusing on the lives and intellectual contributions of four influential women—Iris Murdoch, Philippa Foot, Elizabeth Anscombe, and Mary Midgley—this book explores how they shaped a new philosophical tradition during a time when their male counterparts were absent due to war. It delves into their friendships, ideas, and the impact they had on philosophy, highlighting their unique perspectives and the challenges they faced in a male-dominated field.
