This book addresses how Plato, Kant, and Iris Murdoch (each in
different ways) view the connection aesthetic experience has to
morality. While offering an examination of Iris Murdoch's
philosophy, it analyses deeply the suggestive links (as well as
essential distinctions) between Plato's and Kant's philosophies.
Meredith Trexler Drees considers not only Iris Murdoch's concept of
unselfing, but also its relationship with Kant's view of Achtung
and Plato's view of Eros. In addition, Trexler Drees suggests an
extended, and partially amended, version of Murdoch's view, arguing
that it is more compatible with a religious way of life than
Murdoch herself realized. This leads to an expansion of the overall
argument to include Kant's affirmation of religion as an area of
life that can be improved through Plato's and Murdoch's vision of
how being good and being beautiful can be part of the same
life-task.
