Iris Murdoch died twenty-five years ago today, on 8th February 1999.
No better day, then, to listen to the long-running Iris Murdoch Podcast. The podcast covers a wide range of topics, including Murdoch’s novels, her life (including the one embedded above) her philosophy (for example this and this on Murdoch’s “Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals” and this on her “Sovereignty of Good”), books about her (among those of philosophical interest are this about “Iris Murdoch’s Practical Metaphysics”, a book on her early writings, and this on the “Ethics of Attention”) and so much more.
A labour of love by the Iris Murdoch Society and a gift to the rest of us.
