Elizabeth Anscombe’s grave

Elizabeth Anscombe’s grave

Wandering through a damp Cambridge yesterday I made my way to St Giles’ Cemetery (as was, it’s called something else now) to visit Wittgenstein’s grave, and also to call on Anscombe, buried nearby. An important philosopher in many ways, she was also Wittegenstein’s translator.

I remember her lectures from my undergraduate days.
