International Conference on Anscombe and Wittgenstein

For the past several years, the University of Pennsylvania has housed Elizabeth Anscombe's personal papers in the university library. This Collegium Institute Anscombe Archive at Penn contains many exciting unpublished documents which have served as a wellspring for new research. One significant portion of Anscombe's papers concerns her personal and philosophical relationship with Ludwig Wittgenstein. This one day conference brings together several leading scholars to speak to this deep and interesting connection.
