This was one of her crazy absurd farces, by the way. Meant to be 'dark' but so much gothic that it turned funny, most of the time meant so I'm sure, but not always. Still I enjoyed myself. That was because of the perspective she chose: a bunch of crazy acting family members, entangled in affairs and jealousy, are discribed by a very naive and 'good' sort of narrator, a visitor, who stumbles in, then becomes part of the trainwreck. She has mercy with their endings. #bookstodon #IrisMurdoch
The Marginalian [Unofficial]An Occasion for Unselfing: Iris Murdoch on Imperfection and How to Be More Unselfish

In my latest paper, I develop a comparative study of Iris Murdoch’s moral philosophy through the lens of phenomenology, Platonic ethics, and critiques of modern selfhood. The essay argues that morality begins in perception, where clear vision becomes the foundation of justice and love.

The railways of Iris Murdoch 🤩 #IrisMurdoch
“The #novelist #IrisMurdoch, whose lengthy, involved, brilliant #novels are probably the kind of thing most people don’t read any more, understood #attention better than most.” Well, I know some people who still read her. Otherwise this piece on our #attentiondeficit by #MarkKingwell is very good.
