Synopsis
The eminent philosopher and novelist delivers a comprehensive and compelling statement of the underpinnings of morality. Dame Murdoch draws on the entire history of philosophy--and particularly on Plato and Immanuel Kant--to formulate her own model of morality and demonstrate how thoroughly it is bound up with our daily lives. Murdoch has written 24 novels and numerous works of philosophy and drama.

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
