@PAHoyeck Oh Murdoch had lots of Ego. Tons and tons. Now she's a liar too.

“In the moral life the enemy is the fat relentless ego. Moral philosophy is properly, and in the past has sometimes been, the discussion of this ego and of the techniques (if any) for its defeat.” —Iris Murdoch, The Sovereignty of Good

@hellothisisivan Have you read Iris Murdoch/thoughts on her? I just finished A Fairly Honourable Defeat and was really pleasantly surprised, I thought she'd be all "hmmghm philosophy very clever" but the portrayal of a gay couple for a book written in 1970 is surprising

Having a great time at the @IrisMurdoch Archives at @UIowaLibraries. They hold almost all her novel holographs and planning notes.

@PAHoyeck Charles Taylor makes much of it in Sources of the Self. It’s sat in my mental to be read list ever since. One day.

Been wanting to read more Anscombe, Foot, Murdoch, and Midgley since starting The Women Are Up To Something. Think I'll start Iris Murdoch's The Sovereignty of Good tonight. (With apologies to the several other books I already have on the go 😅)

@CapelLofft Caps, you gotta read The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch. It is without doubt one of the five best novels ever written. If you read it and disagree, I’ll be astonished.

@andrewbertaina Joyce, G. Eliot, H. Green, Pope, Parade’s End, Anthony Powell, Iris Murdoch. I try to scale their impressive walls, only to slither back each time. For some reason, all my reading muscles go slack at point of contact. I’m sure the fault is in me, like an allergy to oysters.

The author I gave the most at bats to before realizing it was never going to work between us was Murakami. I say this because I was meh on Flights and Drive Your Plough and don’t want to be tempted by Book of Jacob. How many ABs do you give to a writer?

I’m 10 pages into this Irish Murdoch but it seems to have a link to Poland. @dreamredo “By now it had fully dawned upon the Count how irredeemably Polish he was doomed to be. At last, sick with anticipation, indecision, fear, he went to Warsaw on a visit.” — Nuns and Soldiers

So many things Lipscomb says about how this or that thesis is opposed to the "billiard ball picture" therefore end up being complete non-sequiturs. This makes much of what he says *highly, highly misleading* for the non-expert. It gives a false view of what's at stake. 12/

Just finished The Women Are Up To Something by Benjamin Lipscomb. It's very well-written look at the careers of four important philosophers, but I found myself getting frustrated by the author's overt bias and rhetorical flourishes. Four out of five.

Bir okur olarak acizane tespitimi arz edeyim: Türk okuru Latin Amerika edebiyatını İngiliz'e yeğledi. Chesterton, Saki, Conrad okunmadı. Borges, Cortazar, Marquez okundu. Bu yoldan acilen dönülmeli.

People should read and talk about Edna O’Brien, Anne Enright and Maeve Brennan I think, I think it is time for everyone to exclusively get into sad Irish women
