I took this book to explore my knowledge on the Argument from Reason. In fact, this book would be the best book to read about it. I have to say, it was difficult to understand a lot of the concepts but it intrigued my interest to read Wittgenstein and Anscombe.

One thing which struck was the different types of explanations given by Anscombe
1) Naturalistic causal explanation
2) Logical explanation
3) Psychological explanation
4) Personal history of explanation, where a person describes how he came to such and such beliefs

Anscombe explains that if a person has reasons, if they are good reasons and they are genuine, then his thought is rational.

A man might die from a heart attack, a naturalistic explanation would be because of less exercise, blockage in his heart value, meanwhile a person might also explain it as a cause of voodoo curse. This
piqued my interest in Wittgenstein.

Overall, I do think he defends the Argument from Reason, you might bump into Philosophy of Mind & Science.
