2006–2007 discussions[edit]

Leaving aside the question of whether a single paper (which is not in fact as influential as the article claims) warrants a separate article, this needs wikifying and copy-editing. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:09, 26 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am with M, this is not an article on modern moral philosophy, but on "Modern Moral Philosophy" an essay by Anscombe, so it ought to be folded into the Anscombe article, which has little discussion of her actual philosophy anyway. Frege1b 22:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added {{italic title}}, which fixes this. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 17:19, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Questions "how influential?" are for the birds. But if "modern times" means, the postwar period, it seems like a commonplace.Frege1b 22:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

State of this article, 2023-10-30[edit]

I have fixed the sourcing of the theses. I also doubted its notability when I first saw it, but at least three academic books, the first of which had multiple contributors, have been published which are largely geared around this specific essay:

O'Hear, A. (Ed.). (2004). Modern Moral Philosophy. Cambridge University Press. ISBN: 9780521603263.
Richter, D.J. (2013). Ethics After Anscombe: Post "Modern Moral Philosophy". Springer Netherlands. ISBN: 9789401714785.
Regan, M. J. (2023). The 'Should' of Elizabeth Anscombe's 'Modern Moral Philosophy' and Philip Foot's Natural Goodness to Flourish. Abhinay. ISBN: 9781805244288.

It is uncommon for specific papers to have that kind of impact, so I think the article should stand, at least after improvements are made. I am unable to access the last book, but I hope to improve the article later with material from the former two. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 17:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I've done it. Thiagovscoelho (talk) 15:42, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
