Iris Murdoch and Alasdair MacIntyre: Parallels

The philosophical and intellectual trajectories of Iris Murdoch and Alasdair MacIntyre run parallel although no apparent convergence. Sometimes A. MacIntyre refers to I. Murdoch, but there is not an explicit recognition of Murdoch's ideas in his work. Despite this, one can find some ideological parallels between the two authors. The paper tries to highlight the thematic similarities between the philosophical theses of Iris Murdoch and Alasdair MacIntyre leaving aside whether such points held in common may be explained by Murdoch’s influence on the Scottish writer

E. Canetti en I. Murdoch: las relaciones de poderen The Flight from the Enchanter

Los títulos de las novelas de Iris Murdoch sugieren, de forma indirecta, el contenido conceptual de las obras. The Flight from the Enchanter1 (1956) plantea, desde el primer momento, con la referencia a la huida y al hechicero, los elementos que serán clave para comprender y desentrañar la aparente disparidad de personajes y situaciones que se desarrollan en la novela.

Lewis Carrol and Iris Murdoch: dialigue after a century

The article dwells upon influences of L.Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland in Iris Murdoch’s early novel The Flight from the Enchanter. The analysis is conducted in the terms of inheritance and contradiction with the traditional classical 19th c. nonsense and fairy tales.

The results show that these principles (“child’s” thinking, enchantedness, believing the unbelievable, wordplay as the structural basis) are found in Murdoch’s novel but represent the immaturity with which she strongly polemizes
