Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals
In her series of lectures, Murdoch presents an intriguing, scholarly, and sprawling work that moves reflectively through an enormous range of topics including art and religion, morals and politics, Wittgenstein, metaphysics, deconstruction, Schopenhauer, imagination, and Martin Buber. She presents ‘a huge hall of reflection full of light and space and fresh air, in which ideas and intuitions can be unsystematically nurtured’. She raises anew the question of metaphysics and its relationship to ethics.
