Iris Murdoch’s Scenes: An Anthology of Moral Imaginations

In this age of the Ethical Turn, considerations of Iris Murdoch’s work as
philosopher and novelist may be more important than ever. Her philosophical
influences and encounters, her vast literary production, her flashing insights
in interviews, all kept close faith with the value and mystery of the limited,
often eccentric, individual other and the difficult work of responsibly
encountering reality. As the Humanities engage with questions from the
geopolitical to the personal regarding the other, Iris Murdoch’s work presents one
model worthy of emulation, question, and adaptation to the concerns we face in
our present contexts.
