Description

The retreat of religion and the increasing influence of science pose sharp ethical questions for all of us. Can we reject the literal truth of the Gospels while maintaining a Christian morality? Can we defend certain 'moral values' against the ongoing intrusions of technology? Indeed, are we at risk of losing most of the qualities that make us truly human? Here, drawing on the insight of a novelist in art, literature, and psychology, Iris Murdoch engages in an ongoing discussion with significant writers, thinkers, and theologians—from Augustine to Wittgenstein, from Shakespeare to Sartre, from Plato to Derrida—in order to provide fresh and compelling answers to these critical questions.
