More From Iris Murdoch

...there ... remains a huge following [of ayn rand's philosophy] of those who ignore the indiscretions, infidelities, and moral inconsistencies of the founder and focus instead on the positive aspects of her philosophy. there is much in it to admire, if you do not have to accept the whole package... criticism of the founder or followers of a philosophy does not, by itself, constitute a negation of any part of the philosophy... criticism of part of a philosophy does not gainsay the whole.
Philosophy Thinking Focus
Poetry is related to philosophy as experience is related to empirical science. experience makes us acquainted with the phenomenon in the particular and by means of examples, science embraces the whole of phenomena by means of general conceptions. so poetry seeks to make us acquainted with the platonic ideas through the particular and by means of examples. philosophy aims at teaching, as a whole and in general, the inner nature of things which expresses itself in these. one sees even here that poetry bears more the character of youth, philosophy that of old age.
Philosophy Teaching Character
With this book in my hands, reading aloud to my friends, questioning them, explaining to them, i was made clearly to understand that i had no friends, that i was alone in the world. because in not understanding the meaning of the words, neither i nor my friends, one thing became very clear and that was that there were ways of not understanding and that the difference between the non-understanding of one individual and the non-understanding of another created a world of terra firma even more solid than differences of understanding.

The aim of human life is to know thyself. think for yourself. question authority. think with your friends. create, create new realities. philosophy is a team sport. philosophy is the ultimate, the ultimate aphrodisiac pleasure. learning how to operate your brain, learning how to operate your mind, learning how to redesign chaos

Conservatism is the antidote to tyranny. it's the only one. it's based on thousands of years of human experience. there is nothing narrow about the conservative philosophy. it's a liberating philosophy. it is a magnificent philosophy. it is a philosophy for the ages, for all times.
Philosophy Years Age
Ever since men became capable of free speculation, their actions, in innumerable important respects, have depended upon their theories as to the world and human life, as to what is good and what is evil. this is true in the present day as at any former time. to understand an age or a nation, we must understand its philosophy, and to understand its philosophy we must ourselves be in some degree philosophers. there is here a reciprocal causation: the circumstances of men s lives do much to determine their philosophy, but, conversely, their philosophy does much to determine their circumstances.
