"Iris Murdoch has written a book which concerns all of us as human beings There are pages here that one wants to embrace her for, pages that say things of fundamental human importance in a way that they have never quite been said before" Noel Malcolm in the Sunday Telegraph"This is philosophy dragged from the cloister, dusted down and made freshly relevant to suffering and egoism, death and religious ecstasy and how we feel compasison for others" Terry Eagleton in the Guardian"Gripping it enchants with a clause that sets you daydreaming, captivates with a stream of thought, empowers with reminiscences" Ian Hacking in the London Review of Books"Anyone who has even the slightest interest in philosophical matters will find Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals an utterly absorbing book" The Wall Street Journal"Remarkable Iris Murdoch has once again put us all in her debt." Alasdair MacIntyre in The New York Times Book Review
