About “The Sovereignty of Good”

The Sovereignty of Good is a philosophical work in which Iris Murdoch argues that moral philosophy has incorrectly prioritized questions of right action over the cultivation of goodness as a state of being. She contends that restoring the concept of 'vision'—a moral perception akin to artistic insight—is essential for correcting this distortion in ethical thought.
