To do this, she deployed the central skills of evaluation and analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn critical thinking, analysis helps understand the sequence and features of arguments: it asks what reasons these arguments produce, what implicit reasons and assumptions they rely on, what conclusions they arrive at. Evaluation involves judging whether or not the arguments are strong enough to sustain their conclusions: it asks how acceptable, adequate, and relevant the reasons given are, and whether or not the conclusions drawn from them are really valid. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \"\u003cem\u003eModern Moral Philosophy\u003c\/em\u003e,\" Anscombe dispassionately turns these skills on figures that have dominated moral philosophy since the 18th-century, revealing the underlying assumptions of their work, their weaknesses and strengths, and showing that in many ways the supposed differences between their arguments are actually negligible. A brilliantly incisive piece, \"Modern Moral Philosophy\" radically affected its field, remaining required - and controversial - reading today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr Jonny Blamey\u003c\/strong\u003e received his PhD in Philosophy from King's College London.
