Written by Iris Murdoch

About this audiobook
Iris Murdoch was one of the great philosophers and novelists of the twentieth century and The Sovereignty of Good is her most important and enduring philosophical work. She argues that philosophy has focused, mistakenly, on what is right to do rather than what is good to be, and that only restoring the notion of 'vision' to moral thinking can this distortion be corrected. This brilliant work shows why Iris Murdoch remains essential reading: a vivid and uncompromising style, a commitment to foreful argument, and a courage to go against the grain.
The Sovereignty of Good is masterfully narrated by Daisy-May Parsons.
Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
