Why the honoree chose the book
Iris Murdoch and her friends—Philippa Foot, Mary Midgley, and Elizabeth Anscombe—are increasingly recognized as important moral philosophers of the twentieth century; therefore, the time is right, it seems to me, to add this book to the library’s collection. On a more personal note, Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals has helped shape my understanding of what it means to teach and study literature here at the University of Dayton.
