Description
Why Iris Murdoch Matters offers a fresh perspective on the life and work of one of the 20th century's most important thinkers. Gary Browning draws on previously unpublished archival material to shed new light on Murdoch's philosophy, art, and politics.
Browning argues that Murdoch was a key theorist of modern life, and her ideas remain remarkably relevant today. Through her thought and fiction, she grapples with fundamental questions about the nature of morality, philosophy, politics, and art in a rapidly changing world.
