Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals was Iris Murdoch's major
philosophical testament and a highly original and ambitious attempt
to talk about our time. Yet in the scholarship on her philosophical
work thus far it has often been left in the shade of her earlier
work. This volume brings together 16 scholars who offer accessible
readings of chapters and themes in the book, connecting them to
Murdoch's larger oeuvre, as well as to central themes in 20th
century and contemporary thought. The essays bring forth the
strength, originality, and continuing relevance of Murdoch's late
thought, addressing, among other matters, her thinking about the
Good, the role and nature of metaphysics in the contemporary world,
the roles of art in human understanding, questions of unity and
plurality in thinking, the possibilities of spiritual life without
God, and questions of style and sensibility in intellectual work.
