Resumen de Il bene e il sole. Metafore platoniche nel pensiero di Iris Murdoch
The aim of this paper is to explore the occurrence, the extension and use of themes and metaphors coming from Plato’s philosophy in Iris Murdoch’s works. To this end Murdoch’s early and central production will be examined. It will be shown how, against the background of her critique of British analytic philosophy and existentialism, Plato’s themes and metaphors emerge in Murdoch’s attempt to propose a more fitting image of both philosophy and human moral life.
