Critical sites about Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals: Philosophical Reflections

Go(o)d in Iris Murdoch

http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft9502/jacobs.html

An essay by a professor at Wheaton College. "[Murdoch] seems to be expressing her philosophy more directly and forcefully than ever, and connecting it with the whole range of her interests. ... [I]t would seem that her focus is directed chiefly on a single question, one might even say a single letter, the letter "o": the presence or absence of that letter can determine the ground of our moral lives. What I mean can be discovered in a sentence near the end of Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals: 'Good represents the reality of which God is the dream.' Or: 'We can lose God, but not Good.'
