Review
"Iris Murdoch has written a book which concerns all of us as human beings ... There are pages here that one wants to embrace her for, pages that say things of fundamental human importance in a way that they have never quite been said before"
--Noel Malcolm in the Sunday Telegraph
"This is philosophy dragged from the cloister, dusted down and made freshly relevant to suffering and egoism, death and religious ecstasy ... and how we feel compasison for others"
--Terry Eagleton in the Guardian
"Gripping ... it enchants with a clause that sets you daydreaming, captivates with a stream of thought, empowers with reminiscences"
--Ian Hacking in the London Review of Books
"Anyone who has even the slightest interest in philosophical matters will find Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals an utterly absorbing book"
--The Wall Street Journal
"Remarkable ... Iris Murdoch has once again put us all in her debt."
--Alasdair MacIntyre in The New York Times Book Review

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. A fine (verging on 'as new') copy of the first edition, first printing of Murdoch's study of the relationship between and among morals, literature, politics, art, science and religion. A main theme of the book concerns religion, its relation to morals, to moral philosophy, and to the great metaphysical systems which have supported it in the past. Both book and dust jacket have been well looked after and despite their age (over thirty five years) look and feel new, with no marks of previous ownership and very little sign of wear. The mid-green cloth-bound boards are evenly coloured with no bumps, dents or scratches - all edges are straight and all corners sharp. The text block is square and tightly bound with no lean. There is some light spotting on the top edge (of the text block) but none on the fore and bottom edges (see relevant photos). Internally all pages are bright, clean and spotless with no marks or inscriptions. The dust jacket retains its original gloss and stiffness the colours of the artwork on the front panel remain strong and vivid. There are no marks, dents, tears, or unwanted folds or creases, and no excisions: the publisher's price (£20.00) is still in place). We have included sixteen photos of the book and would be happy to produce more if additional views would be helpful. Seller Inventory # 308
