Contemporary Cinema And The Philosophy Of Iris Murdoch Av Lucy Bolton

<p>Iris Murdoch was not only one of post-war Britain?s most celebrated and prolific novelists ? she was also an influential philosopher, whose work was concerned with the question of the good and how we can see our moral worlds more clearly. <br>Murdoch believed that paying attention to art is a way for us to become less self-centred, and this book argues that cinema is the perfect form of art to enable us to do this. Bringing together Murdoch?s moral philosophy and contemporary cinema to build a dialogue about vision, ethics and love, author Lucy Bolton encourages us to view cinema as a way of studying other worlds and moral journeys, and to reflect upon their ethical significance in the world of the film and in our daily lives.</p>
