Summer Series No.9c - The Sovereignty of Good by Iris Murdoch

Iris Murdoch — The Sovereignty of Good over Other Concepts
Wed 30 Sept
By popular demand! We're continuing with a third week that completes Murdoch's 1970 collection The Sovereignty of Good. This third essay continues the themes from the last two weeks - how can we get our ego out of its own way and be moral despite our selfishness, how great art shows us moral examples, how the concept of the Good is transcendent

Next up is The Nothing Project - details here

Who are we?
We're a reading group that welcomes all - young, old, completely new to philosophy or well versed, from keen students to those who've never darkened the door of a lecture room. We read both long & short texts, but you don't need to join at the very start of our longer reads - you can come along at any stage of the journey. Our conversations are lively, wide-ranging & respectful.

We usually head to the pub to continue the discussion after our meetings.
