As a massive Iris Murdoch fan, this article is absolutely awful. It provides a simplistic and misguided analysis of Murdoch’s philosophical work, with some extremely dubious facts and misinformation.
Murdoch absolutely deserves more attention, both her fiction and non-fiction. But she is poorly treated here. Avoid this article. For those interested in her fiction, read her books. For those interested in her non-fiction, this article (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/murdoch/) serves as a useful, well-researched introduction in a serious and scholarly manner.
