Description

Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals explores the challenges posed by the decline of religion and the increasing influence of science on our moral values. Iris Murdoch examines how we can reconcile Christian morality with a world that is increasingly dominated by technology.

In this thought-provoking work, Murdoch engages in a debate with major thinkers from Augustine to Wittgenstein, Shakespeare to Sartre, and Plato to Derrida, seeking fresh answers to the questions of what it means to be human and how we can defend moral values in a rapidly changing world.

Through her novelist's insight into art, literature, and abnormal psychology, Murdoch provides a nuanced exploration of the relationship between metaphysics and morality, offering compelling perspectives on some of the most pressing ethical issues of our time.
