Iris Murdoch's The Sovereignty of Good

Arts & Ideas

NOTE

Changing Perspectives for the Good

The story from the sovereignty of good discusses a mother-in-law who initially disapproved of her daughter-in-law, using terms like common and silly. However, over time, she starts seeing the daughter-in-law in a more positive light, replacing negative words with more positive ones. The crucial aspect highlighted is the shift in perspective towards a more just, loving, and realistic view, as emphasized by Murdoch's moral vision. The focus is on looking at others without prejudice and self-centeredness, reflecting a movement towards the good and the soul in a post-religious era.
