Iris Murdoch (b.1919) | This time we set course for Ireland's vibrant landscapes and into the mind of Iris Murdoch. Born in Dublin in 1919, this profound thinker challenged conventional philosophies of the era, infusing them with her unique observations on morality and the human condition. 

We trace Murdoch's journey from her humble beginnings to her time at Oxford University, where her intellectual prowess was honed and her philosophical core solidified. We dissect the indelible mark Murdoch made on both literature and philosophical thought, intertwining them in ways unimagined before. Learn about Murdoch's rebellious intellectualism against traditional narratives, her philosophical propagation of empathetic consideration, and her unwavering determination to introduce feminine perspectives in a male-dominated arena. Discover the underlining connections between her philosophical and creative narratives and witness how she imparted a profound exploration of the human mindset, morality, and virtues through her works. 

Subscribe to Sleep with Philosophy, where we delve into the stimulating world of notable thinkers, their lives and their impactful ideas.
