Most-cited papers in Philosophy

Modern Moral Philosophy

G. E. M. Anscombe · 1 Jan 1958

I will begin by stating three theses which I present in this paper. The first is that it is not profitable for us at present to do moral philosophy; that should be laid aside at any rate until we have an adequate philosophy of psychology, in which we are conspicuously lacking. The second is that…

L. Wilson began something which badly needed beginning, namely the construction of a logically rigorous “substance-language” in which…

The Conscience of Huckleberry Finn

Jonathan Bennett · 1 Apr 1974

In this paper, I shall present not just the conscience of Huckleberry Finn but two others as well. One of them is the conscience of Heinrich Himmler. He became a Nazi in 1923; he served drably and quietly, but well, and was rewarded with increasing responsibility and power. At the peak of his career he…
