Contributions to the Catholic Intellectual Tradition

Conference on Anscombe’s Work – Friday and Saturday, March 14 - 15, 2014

March 2014 marks the 95th birthday of G.E.M. Anscombe (1919 - 2001), one of the twentieth century’s most provocative and highly regarded philosophers.

Many conferences on Anscombe’s work have focused on her contributions to moral philosophy and action theory. This conference focuses on the question: What are Anscombe’s contributions — actual and potential — to the Catholic intellectual tradition?

All of Friday's scheduled events take place in the banquet room at The Concordville Inn located in Concordville, PA, a short distance from Neumann University. Saturday's events take place on the Neumann University campus - please refer to the conference schedule for details.
