Iris Murdoch on Philosophy and Literature: Section 1
Loading...
Uploaded by flame0430 on Jul 13, 2008
The areas in which philosophy and literature overlap are examined in this program by renowned Oxford novelist Iris Murdoch. Style and structure in philosophical writing are compared and contrasted with those in literature. The narrative abilities of Plato, Schopenhauer, and Kant are examined. Philosophy's predilection for accepting only literature that supports its theories is discussed as a source of antagonism between the two disciplines.

and a course in philosophy in any serious department would show you that Derrida isn't even considered worth mentioning.

@Anglican08 Given that Cicero called his writing style a "river of gold", I'd say he was probably a great writer.
-
@jimbopumbapigsticks Yes, Copleston made that point, we only have Plato's popular works & not his lectures, the opposite is true for Aristotle.

@GeorgesBarras it may be unpleasant at times, but its a state which brings about tremendous child-like joy and unity with the universe. there are moments when i've felt this natural joy and i realize this is what is taken away from us when we're conditioned by society... egos... etc. we lose compassion and our sense of identity (our true, natural identity is the universe)
-
@pumitaproductions Each to their own, I can sympathise with a certain desire for the primitive. But the 'natural state', as you put it, would not be a pleasant condition, or indeed one with any longevity.

@GeorgesBarras i dont find any of that stuff anymore beautiful than a leave. quite frankly, if i wasn't so attached to modern medicine and technology, i would leave to somewhere where i can actually live what its like for a real human to live. somewhere natural, a tribe maybe. the natural state of consciousness is spiritually fulfilling. all this medicine and technology is what makes us suffer, by breaking the natural state.
