Описание: Iris Murdoch`s moral philosophy, although highly influential in the 20th century, is somewhat unsystematic and inaccessible. By examining all of Murdoch`s contributions to moral philosophy, from her short papers to Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals, Heather Widdows provides an accessible and systematized account of Murdoch`s concepts and offers a clear and critical exposition of her thought.
Описание: This book addresses how Plato, Kant, and Iris Murdoch (each in different ways) view the connection aesthetic experience has to morality. Meredith Trexler Drees considers not only Iris Murdoch`s concept of unselfing, but also its relationship with Kant`s view of Achtung and Plato`s view of Eros.

Описание:
In Why Iris Murdoch Matters Gary Browning draws on as yet unpublished archival material to present an unrivalled overview of Murdoch's work and thought. Browning argues for Murdoch's position amongst the key theorists of modern life, and discusses in detail her engagement with the notion of late modernity. Her multiple perspectives on art, philosophy, religion, politics and the self all relate to how she understands the nature of late modernity.
Browning lucidly illustrates that through both her thought and fiction we can grasp the significance of issues that remain of paramount importance today: the possibilities of a moral life without foundations, the meaning of philosophy in a post-metaphysical age, the prospects of politics without ideological certainties and the significance of art after realism.
A totally original work arguing persuasively that Iris Murdoch not only matters but is absolutely central to how we think through the contemporary age.

Описание: This book draws on Iris Murdoch`s philosophy to explore questions related to the importance of attention in ethics. In doing so, it also engages with Murdoch`s ideas about the existence of a moral reality, the importance of love, and the necessity but also the difficulty of fighting against our natural self-centred tendencies.

Описание: The story of four remarkable women who shaped the intellectual history of the 20th century: Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch. On the cusp of the Second World War, four women went to Oxford to begin their studies: a fiercely brilliant Catholic convert; a daughter of privilege longing to escape her stifling upbringing; an ardent Communist and aspiring novelist with a list of would-be lovers as long as her arm; and a quiet, messy lover of newts and mice who would become a great public intellectual of our time. They became lifelong friends.
At the time, only a handful of women had ever made lives in philosophy. But whenOxford's men were drafted in the war, everything changed. As Elizabeth Anscombe, Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Iris Murdoch labored to make a place for themselves in a male-dominated world, as they made friendships and families, and as they drifted toward and away from each other, they never stopped insisting that some lives are better than others.
They argued that courage and discernment and justice-and love-are the heart of a good life. This book presents the first sustained engagement with these women's contributions: with the critique and the alternative they framed. Drawing on a cluster of recently opened archives and extensive correspondence and interviews with those who knew them best, Benjamin Lipscomb traces the lives and ideas of four friends who gave us a better way to think about ethics, and ourselves.

Описание: This book develops an original theory of collective moral obligations. The theory does not stipulate a new type of moral obligation, but rather suggests that to think of some of our obligations as joint or collective is the best way of making sense of our intuitions regarding collective moral action problems.
