Abstrakt

The British philosopher Iris Murdoch made an important contribution to twentieth century philosophy of mind, challenging the scientifically motivated, quasi-behaviorism of her day. Prior to important work by Thomas Nagel and others, it was Murdoch who stressed the vital, evident reality of subjective experience. As she and other philosophers came to recognize the irreducible nature of the mental, philosophers have come to re-entertain the merits of a greater variety of accounts of the self and its origin than were countenanced in the mid-twentieth century. Murdoch did much to pave the way to re-thinking the self, its nature and origin.
