{"product_id":"iris-murdoch-9781009571739","title":"Iris Murdoch","description":"Iris Murdoch is well-known for her moral philosophy, especially for the light it sheds on the inner life. This Element focuses on the political significance and contours of Murdoch's ethics. Its chief aim is to illuminate the affinities between Murdoch's concept of the individual and the Enlightenment ideal of a society in which people live together as free equals. There are five sections in this Element. Section 1 provides context for the discussion. Section 2 compares what Murdoch calls the liberal and naturalistic outlooks and argues that she develops a modified version of the naturalistic outlook to better support an Enlightenment sensibility. Sections 3 and 4 examine the three main features of Murdoch's 'naturalized' individual. Section 3 considers the individual's uniqueness and transcendence. Section 4 considers the individual's knowability through love. Section 5 offers some concluding remarks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bridget Clarke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Elements on Women in the History of Philosophy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 72\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.6lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781009571739","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44002793947273,"sku":"9781009571739","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_76afb71a-ee8f-4832-afdc-0e992212f844.jpg?v=1747721658","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/iris-murdoch-9781009571739","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
