Good, Evil and the Virtuous Iris Murdoch Commentary Iris Murdoch, Philosopher, edited by Justin Broackes . Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2011, 400 pp. ISBN 978-0-19-928990-5 hb £35.00 [Book Review]

While Iris Murdoch lived, Charles Taylor found philosophers as yet ‘too close’ to her rich philosophical contribution to see its true importance (Taylor 1996: 3). Twelve years from her death, Iris Murdoch, Philosopher is the first collection of essays on Murdoch’s philosophy edited by a philosopher, for a readership in academic philosophy. The collection is not yet the fulfilment of Taylor’s prophecy, but has the energy of a giant leap.
