 Rating: - Good is dead, Long live the GoodI am a biased reviewer for several reasons: I actually love to read philosophy texts, and I rather enjoy the elegance of Murdoch's philosophy in particular. Because, I feel, of Murdoch's consciously holistic approach to the understanding of philosophy itself. You must read her novels to understand the 'bones' of this book (as well as 'Metaphysics as a Guide to Morality'), as 'Sovereignty' provides the 'meat' of their insights. Murdoch pursues, more or less, most interestingly the question(s): do we need a notion of divinity in order to know/be morally Good? What is Good after all? Without God, are we not moral creatures? Afterall, is not the notion of Good ultimately just another word for God in the end? How does such a notion relate to the 'real' world? Et cetera. The full fascinating meditation on the subject is wittily, clearly and inexhaustably penned in the 'Sovereignty of Good'. Pursue it yourself, but don't forget the novels. They were her playground in which she played out what she meant to think; or thought to mean.
