In the 70-s there must have been a journal called "The human world", for I have seen it in citations. However, it's a tricky word to google and I have found zero information about this journal online.

I am specially interested in Issue 9, November 1971. This issue contains comments from Bernard Williams and others on Elizabeth Anscombe's "Contraception and chastity", and also Anscombe's comments on their replies. Actually I did find the comments and replies in here: https://www.open.uwi.edu/sites/default/files/bnccde/PH19B/conchastity.html, however, portion of Anscombe's reply has been omitted for some reason. Mary Geach quotes from the omitted part in the introduction to the book "Faith in a hard ground", however, I would really like to read Anscombe's reply in its entirety, but it seems nowhere to be found.

    Stanford University Library seems to have a physical copy of all issues....Brynmill is the publisher and seems to still exist. These are the two places you could contact I found so far. Issue 9 is Nov 1972 btw. – Philip Klöcking Feb 21 '22 at 15:04

The Human World has been a journal published by Brynmill Press (a company still in existence) between 1970 and 1974.

Besides the mentioned interesting comments on Anscombe's Contraception and Chastity in issues 7 and 9 there is an interesting Essay by Wittgenstein in issue 3 as it seems.

As of getting hold of these issues, your best bet will be the corresponding WorldCat entry. There, you can enter your location and it will give you libraries within some hundred miles where it is available.
