The Sovereignty of Good

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'.
