Description
Iris Murdoch once observed: 'philosophy is often a matter of finding occasions on which to say the obvious'. What was obvious to Murdoch, and to all those who read her work, is that Good transcends everything - even God. Throughout her distinguished and prolific writing career, she explored questions of Good and Bad, myth and morality. The framework for Murdoch's questions - and her own conclusions - can be found here.
Critic Reviews
“'One of the very few modern books of philosophy which people outside academic philosophy find really useful.'- Mary Midgely ' ... Murdoch's attack is the fruit of a thorough professional involvement with the school of thought to which she is opposed.'- Anthony Quinton, Sunday Telegraph 'All three essays which make up this book, The Idea of Perfection, On 'God' and'Good', and The Sovereignty of Good over Other Concepts, are superb.'- The Guardian”
