Review

One of the very few modern books of philosophy which people outside academic philosophy find really useful. - Mary Midgely

.. Murdochs attack is the fruit of a thorough professional involvement with the school of thought to which she is opposed. - Anthony Quinton, Sunday Telegraph

All three essays which make up this book, The Idea of Perfection, On `God and `Good, and The Sovereignty of Good over Other Concepts, are superb. - The Guardian

All three essays which make up this book are superb . . . She has carefully pondered all that logical analysis, existentialism, Marxism, Freudianism can say, has learned from them, and yet is able to present an old-fashioned view with complete modernity.

–The Guardian

Another charismatic teacher, Donald MacKinnon, steered her toward moral philosophy- an area of study that would fascinate her to the end and to which she made significant contributions with two landmark studies, The Sovereignty of Good(1970, and recently brought back into print by Routledge as part of its admirable Classics series) and Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals (1992).–Jay Parini, Harper's Magazine

Iris ... never minded being unfashionable. That is what makes The Sovereignty of Goodso good - what makes it, still, one of the very few modern books of philosophy which people outside academic philosophy find really helpful.

–Mary Midgley

The theme is the inadequacy of the account of human nature and value provided by contemporary, academic analytic philosophy. Murdoch's attack is the fruit of a thorough professional involvement with the school of thought to which she is opposed.

–The Sunday Telegraph

I am looking out of my window in an anxious and resentful state of mind, oblivious to my surroundings, brooding perhaps on some damage done to my prestige. Then suddenly I observe a hovering kestrel. In a moment everything is altered. The brooding self with its hurt vanity has disappeared. There is nothing now but kestrel. And when I return to thinking of the other matter it seems less important.

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 in the Sovereignty of Good . The Boston Review hailed these essays as 'her most influential pieces of philosophy'.
