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.

There’s an explanation for that…you’re thick!
you know, actually she looks and talks a bit as if Stephen fry would impersonate her… (i like her, so don’t hate me for this)^^
Love it. And the outfit’s great too.
She’s being interviewed, stupid!
I wish it was as funny to me
But thanks anyway 
hahaha
call it ‘a comparative dissertation on the works of Dostoevskii and Iris Murdoch’.
Nice and dry haha
It’s quite hard to focus on what she says because she’s such a boring interlocutor. What a big load of wank.
Today – on July 15, 2009: Congratulations Iris! You, as it were, still alive through this video clip… Thanks for this “still being alive”! (My name: Marianne)
that’s one lady with just a little too much to say for herself.
Wonderful discussion. Love Iris!
I heard that Iris loved a quarter pounder though
RATHERer!
I’m writing a comparative dissertation on Dostoevskii’s works and her novels. I don’t even have a proper title yet
so am I. my title is Iris Murdoch and Truth. Wish I hadn’t bothered now and got a job at McDonalds instead, ah well. What are you writing on?
if he didnt have this glasses he would look like Thomas Bernhard
literchure
Can anybody tell me when this program was broadcast on TV? I’m writing a dissertation on Iris Murdoch and this video would come in handy…
What a fantastically English presentation!
Ranting??? Wow. That’s quite a stretch. Here’s another word (this may be another stretch… of a different kind): PROJECTION.
Hey check out kerou(.)net He’s a new cartoonist whos work borders on literature. Theres elements of genius in his work.
What a sententious douche that introduces philosophy and interviews her!
actually, philosophy isn’t for shallow-minded sexist idiots like you.
its just an opinion, you dont have to like it! but its not fair for you to call people names cause u dnt like what they say.
differing conversations with. I don’t think he is ‘ranting’ at all, only merely stating his/her opinion, and whats this all about ‘stop’ ranting, inplying theyve done it before.. i can see no such evidence, I tihnk that people should be able to express their opinions without being had a go at and called abusive names like ‘moron’ or ‘stubborn’ as you cannot divulge a persons personality or complete intent from a little youtube messge…miggerino, i think you should try to act a little more adult
