In Why Iris Murdoch Matters Gary Browning draws on as yet
unpublished archival material to present an unrivalled overview of
Murdoch's work and thought. Browning argues for Murdoch's position
amongst the key theorists of modern life, and discusses in detail
her engagement with the notion of late modernity. Her multiple
perspectives on art, philosophy, religion, politics and the self
all relate to how she understands the nature of late modernity.
Browning lucidly illustrates that through both her thought and
fiction we can grasp the significance of issues that remain of
paramount importance today: the possibilities of a moral life
without foundations, the meaning of philosophy in a
post-metaphysical age, the prospects of politics without
ideological certainties and the significance of art after realism.
A totally original work arguing persuasively that Iris Murdoch not
only matters but is absolutely central to how we think through the
contemporary age.
