Iris Murdoch and the Ancient Quarrel
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-33291-1 (ISBN)
Iris Murdoch and the Ancient Quarrel makes a break with existing scholarship on Murdoch’s philosophy and literature that ultimately re-states the philosophical value of literature, alongside literary aspects of philosophy. This book differs by deepening Murdoch's insistence on the differences between the disciplines, providing a consistent and polemical argument for the distinction between literature and philosophy more generally. Engaging thinkers such as Plato, Kant, Hegel, Sartre, Weil, and Cavell, Iris Murdoch and the Ancient Quarrel delves into the aesthetic characteristics that distinguish philosophy and literature. Through a discussion of the illusion of sense, the role of conceptual thinking in literature, the clash between epistemology and fiction, the artifice of tragedy, and the ambiguous morality of artistic inspiration and experience, this study reveals literature as essentially other to philosophy.
Lyra Ekström Lindbäck is a novelist and critic.
