Description
Iris Murdoch's moral philosophy explores the question of the good and how we can see our moral worlds more clearly. This book argues that cinema is a perfect form of art to help us become less self-centred, by encouraging us to pay attention to art and reflect on its ethical significance. Lucy Bolton, senior lecturer in film studies at Queen Mary University of London, brings together Murdoch's philosophy and contemporary cinema to build a dialogue about vision, ethics and love.
