"I'm about halfway through Iris Murdoch's debut novel *Under the Net*, which is a lot of fun: about 90% a goofy romp through 50s London, and 10% exploring themes of language vs reality, theory vs action, and what it means to adopt a theory or point of view from someone when you don't and maybe can't "
"could be cool to read *Iris Murdoch's Sovereignty of Good* (even just the first chapter). Murdoch's whole moral position is about moral vision, and seeing reality clearly, removing idealism and illusion, particularly those caused by selfishness."
