Infos

This book begins with the text of an initial essay sent by the author to the late Professor P.T. Geach, his former doctoral supervisor (1976-79, Leeds), in 1980, along with the latter's extensive marginal comment. There follows the main section, comprising the correspondence. The book includes the author's correspondence, plus Peter Geach's replies over a thirty-year period (1981-2010), including the author's italicised and bracketed comments, often extensive, on Geach's replies. A final section discusses the Anscombe-C.S. Lewis controversy (Oxford 1947). It finds that Geach appears implicitly (citing J.B.S. Haldane from the The Rationalist Annual of the 1930s) to support rather a version of the Lewis thesis (that thought as open to truth cannot fairly be simply judged to have materially "e;evolved"e;, whatever degree of "e;bewitchment by language"e; it regularly suffers) than Anscombe's contrary view at that time in his communications to the author.
