Historical argument have long been neglected within the confines of analytic philosophy, to the point of being seen as being a significant trait of the movement itself. This differs sharply from the historically anchored argumentative techniques common in continental thought. This has resulted in mutual incomprehension of the other. Recent developments have however pointed towards a change, largely due contributions by McIntyre, Taylor, McDowell and Williams. The project aims to highlight and analyse the neglected much earlier pioneering efforts made by Anscombe and Murdoch, sparsely mentioned by the previously mentioned group of thinkers. Both Anscombe and Murdoch belong to the Somerville group, which is currently the focus of several efforts. Ongoing research in England and the United States, however, have not focused on the group’s historical arguments. These arguments remain unexplored. The project has an interdisciplinary methodological approach, combining intellectual history, philosophy, extensive archival research, historical contextualization, and argument analysis and evaluation.
