Abstract
Abstract The chapter initially describes the political and cultural climate in Britain in the years immediately following the war—particularly the effects of the 1945 Labour victory and more severe rationing—before turning to consider the war’s long-term effects on the dons, graduates, and undergraduates in the Oxford philosophy sub-faculty. The impact of Ryle’s The Concept of Mind, his pre-eminent position in British philosophy, and his role in establishing the Oxford B.Phil. degree are explored. Austin’s domestic arrangements and return to teaching, together with the impression he created on some of his pupils, are then discussed. The chapter closes by examining the end of Austin’s relationship with Renée, and the death of his mother.
