À propos de cet audio

Iris Murdoch once observed: 'philosophy is often a matter of finding occasions on which to say the obvious'. What was obvious to Murdoch, and to all those who read her work, is that Good transcends everything—even God. Throughout her distinguished and prolific writing career, she explored questions of Good and Bad, myth and morality. The framework for Murdoch's questions—and her own conclusions—can be found here.

Iris Murdoch was one of the great philosophers and novelists of the twentieth century and The Sovereignty of Good is her most important and enduring philosophical work. She argues that philosophy has focused, mistakenly, on what is right to do rather than what is good to be, and that only restoring the notion of 'vision' to moral thinking can this distortion be corrected. This brilliant work shows why Iris Murdoch remains essential: a vivid and uncompromising style, a commitment to forceful argument, and a courage to go against the grain.

The Sovereignty of Good is masterfully narrated by Daisy-May Parsons.

This book is fantastic, but the audiobook has so many fade-outs and mispronunciations (e.g. Kierkegaard and techne) that I wondered at times if it was A.I. generated. Also—shockingly—there are occasional “notes to self” left in the final edit (e.g. at 24:18 in the final chapter). The reader has a lovely voice, and I’m sure this can be salvaged, but for an academic text from a press like Routledge it’s not really acceptable as it.

Great book, error-filled audiobook
