About this product
Product Information
Best known as the author of twenty-six novels, Iris Murdoch has also made significant contributions to the fields of ethics and aesthetics. Collected here for the first time in one volume are her most influential literary and philosophical essays. Tracing Murdoch's journey to a modern Platonism, this volume includes incisive evaluations of the thought and writings of T. S. Eliot, Jean-Paul Sartre, Albert Camus, Simone de Beauvior , and Elias Canetti , as well as key texts on the continuing importance of the sublime, on the concept of love, and the role great literature can play in curing the ills of philosophy. Existentialists and Mystics not only illuminates the mysticism and intellectual underpinnings of Murdoch's novels, but confirms her major contributions to twentieth-century thought.

Reviews
"Brilliantly readable . . . Murdoch can make the most demanding questions of life accessible and exciting." -- The Baltimore Sun " Existentialists and Mystics desribes the intellectual journey of a lifetime. This book is Murdoch's key. Readers will find much here to stimulate, entertain and edify. No one conveys the beauty and excitement of philosophy better than Murdoch." --Hilary Spurling, Daily Telegraph "Murdoch, a wondrous writer and a careful student of the history of thought, is endowed a rare talent for philosophical writing--she offers, in accessible prose, insight into some of the great questoins that have preoccupied thinkers for centuries." -- San Diego Union "Tight, graceful writing, and a pleasure to read . . . [Murdoch's moral theory] has a real claim to our attention." --Elijah Millgram, The Boston Review "A perceptive investigation into the symbiotic relationship of philosophy and literature." -- The Guardian

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
