Reviews
Browning's valuable new monograph about Mudoch has a title that takes the precise nature of Murdoch's engagement with politics to be an open question...To those willing to put aside the mistaken assumption that Murdoch has no more to offer on the subject of politics than the woolly Platonism often projected onto her, I expect Gary Browning's book will provoke new and fruitful lines of intellectual inquiry. * Nikhil Krishnan, Times Literary Supplement * Browning has mined all these sources, published and unpublished, to chronicle Murdoch's complex and continually evolving attitudes to politics throughout her life, from her early radicalism to her later disenchantment with Labour politicians on the one hand, and with any form of revolutionary thinking on the other...Browning makes a convincing case for Murdoch's abiding interest in politics, not as dogma but as a continually evolving response to events and issues as they arose - questions not of ideology but of relationsbetween human beings. * Gillian Dooley, The Australian * Iris Murdoch and the Political weaves together discussions of Murdoch's personal interest in politics (as evinced, for example, by her journals, personal letters and so on), the political dimensions to her literary work (including plays and poetry as well as novels) and her explicitly political philosophical writing. * Cathy Mason, Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie *
