Iris Murdoch Biography and List of Works
Books by Iris Murdoch Shop used books at Biblio.com British writer and university lecturer, a prolific and highly professional novelist. Murdoch has dealt in her works with everyday ethical or moral issues, the question of good and bad, and has explored the function of myth in the process of making sense of one's life. As a writer Murdoch was a perfectionist, and she did not let editors change her text. "An author's irony often conceals his glee. This concealment is possibly the chief function of irony."
(from Sacred and Profane Love Machine, 1974) Iris Murdoch was born in Dublin. Her mother was Irish and her father was an English civil servant who served as a cavalry officer in the World War I. The family moved to London in her childhood and she grew up in the western suburbs of Hammersmith and Chiswich.

From The Philosopher, Volume LXXXVI No. 1, and written in Spring 1998
SORTING OUT THE ZEITGEIST The Moral Philosophy of Iris Murdoch Mary Midgley
Theorists have invented a special kind of metaphysical freedom, sending us up, like autonomous hot-air balloons, to a stratosphere beyond the reach of nature and science. . .
Bright moonlight flooded down St Giles's as Iris and I, just ceasing to be undergraduates, stumbled home to Somerville at the end of an exhausting evening in the June of 1942. Our recent exams had exhausted us for a start. But, on top of this, our kind tutor had invited us, as a special treat, to dine with two highly distinguished contemporary sages and we had been listening attentively all the evening to their distinguished opinions. 'So finally.' I asked, 'what about it? Did we learn something new this evening?' 'Oh yes, I think so,' declared Iris, gazing up at the enormous moon. 'I do think so. X is a good man and Y is a bad man'. At which exact but grotesquely unfashionable judgement we both fell about laughing so helplessly that the rare passers-by looked round in alarm and all the cats ran away. Iris, however, has never minded being unfashionable. That is what makes The Sovereignty of Good so good - what makes it, still, one of the very few modern books of philosophy which people outside academic philosophy find really helpful. It shares that distinction with C.S. Lewis's little book, The Abolition of Man , which shoots with equally deadly aim at the same target. Both books effectively debunk the colourful, fantastic screen of up-to-date ideas inside which we live - a screen which, despite a lot of surface activity, has not actually changed much since they were written. As Iris puts it, 'a smart set of concepts may be a most efficient instrument of corruption', because, as she explains:

~Iris Murdoch, writer (1919-1999) Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.
~H.G. Wells The car has become... an article of dress without which we feel uncertain, unclad, and incomplete.
~Marshall McLuhan, Understanding Media The automobile has not merely taken over the street, it has dissolved the living tissue of the city. Its appetite for space is absolutely insatiable; moving and parked, it devours urban land, leaving the buildings as mere islands of habitable space in a sea of dangerous and ugly traffic.

Appearance
A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form, he is not constantly at work upon the façade of his appearance.
Happiness
H appiness is a matter of one's most ordinary everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. To be damned is for one's ordinary everyday mode of consciousness to be unremitting agonizing preoccupation with self.

M oralistic is not moral. And as for truth well, it's like brown it's not in the spectrum. Truth is so generic.
Pride
T he sin of pride may be a small or a great thing in someone's life, and hurt vanity a passing pinprick, or a self-destroying or ever murderous obsession.

Iris Murdoch
Murdoch's Gift: The Book and the Brotherhood's Narrator
by George Soule
Readers of Iris Murdoch's 1987 novel The Book and the Brotherhood usually recognize that it is a significant novel and possibly a great one, but they are often puzzled.1 What is it about ? Perhaps its focus is on a single character. A. S. Byatt labels David Crimond, the neo-Marxist author of the title's "book," as the latest of Murdoch's enchanters (p. 293); David Gordon sees Crimond as the first of the unsatisfactory spiritual leaders of her late novels (pp.172-73). Many critics avoid the question of centrality by focusing on lesser characters or groups of them.2 Most agree that, in the brotherhood of Gerard, Jenkin, Rose, Duncan, and (improbably) Gulliver, the novel shows the decline of English bourgeois late-capitalist liberalism.3 In reading the novel, however, this theme seems lost in a welter of side issues and diverting accidents. There are collections of variegated stones, mysterious dancing and telepathic mollusks, barks of real and imaginary foxes and of ghostly dogs, high-speed cars, fireworks, guns, a live cat and a dead one, a witch, and a memorable parrot. The novel presents an array of improbable coincidences and complex strings of events which include adultery, a glider crash, proposals of marriage, a suicide pact, a pregnancy, and a murder. Action takes place in a variety of London interiors, as well as in a tower in Ireland, and in and near an estate in the English provinces. Murdoch elsewhere emphasizes the chance events (or "contingencies") that fill our lives.4 This novel seems so full of detail that readers must conclude that Murdoch desires them to see characters at sea in an ocean of accident. Accidents do not add up to themes.

Author Info: Iris Murdoch
All the time when I speak to you, even now, I'm saying not precisely what I think, but what I think
will impress you and make you respond. That's so even between us - and how much more it's so
when there are stronger motives for deception. In fact, one's so used to this one hardly sees it. The
whole language is a machine for making falsehoods.
-Hugo Belfounder Under the Net I suppose some of the scenarios in the book are amusing if you are British and are immersed in the works of philosophers like Wittgenstein. For the rest of us, it's all rather tedious. A picaresque where neither the central character nor any of the people he comes in contact with show any signs of personal growth and development seems an exercise in futility. Personally, I agree with the friend of Jake's who suggests : Society should take you by the neck and shake you and make you do a sensible job. Then in your
evenings you would have the possibility to write a great book.
