reviewed Existentialists and Mystics: Writings on Philosophy and Literature on October 04, 2012 Existentialists and Mystics: Writings on Philosophy and Literature
Murdoch is one of the kindest and most humble writers of philosophy I've ever read. She writes about existential themes without angst, with keen insight and admirable restraint. With both her style and her substantive claims, she rightly balances the urge toward philosophy and the urge toward literature. She directs her attention to some of the most lasting problems in philosophy without much simplification and she avoids over-radical claims. It's not standard academic fare, yet it comes from a mind that clearly understands the importance and lasting relevance of the philosophical canon. Whereas much of philosophy serves to problematize life, hers is a philosophy that makes life appear less problematic.
