The 'others' examined by Fiddes are mainly those with whom Murdoch
entered into explicit dialogue in her novels and philosophical
writing - including Immanuel Kant, Simone Weil, Dietrich
Bonhoeffer, Rudolph Bultmann, Paul Tillich, Don Cupitt, Donald
Mackinnon and Jacques Derrida. This 'historic' dialogue is,
however, placed within a wider dialogue between literature and
theology being conducted by the author, and 'others' are brought
into relation with Murdoch in order to illuminate this more
extensive conversation - notably the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins and
the feminist philosopher Julia Kristeva. The book demonstrates that
characteristic themes in Murdoch's novels and philosophy - the love
of the Good, the death of the ego, illusory consolations, the death
of God, the modifying of the will by 'waiting', the sublime and the
beautiful, and attention to other things and persons - all take on
a greater meaning when placed in the context of her life-long
conversation with theology. The exploration of this context is
deepened in this volume by reference to annotations and notes that
Murdoch made in a number of theological books in her personal
library.
