The eminent philosopher and novelist delivers a comprehensive and compelling statement of the underpinnings of morality. Dame Murdoch draws on the entire history of philosophy--and particularly on Plato and Immanuel Kant--to formulate her own model of morality and demonstrate how thoroughly it is bound up with our daily lives. Murdoch has written 24 novels and numerous works of philosophy and drama.

Librería: World of Books (was SecondSale), Montgomery, IL, Estados Unidos de America
Hardback. Condición: Fair. The decline of religion and ever increasing influence of science pose acute ethical issues for us all. Can we reject the literal truth of the Gospels yet still retain a Christian morality? Can we defend any 'moral values' against the constant encroachments of technology? Indeed, are we in danger of losing most of the qualities which make us truly human? Here, drawing on a novelist's insight into art, literature and abnormal psychology, Iris Murdoch conducts an ongoing debate with major writers, thinkers and theologians--from Augustine to Wittgenstein, Shakespeare to Sartre, Plato to Derrida--to provide fresh and compelling answers to these crucial questions.
