Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell, and Martha Nussbaum. She shares with them not only the attempt to work out a chastened, usable, non-metaphysical discourse and vocabulary for a qualified humanist ethics but also their conception of the novel as an embodiment of moral philosophy. Murdoch and a number of other philosophers all tried to establish a subdued, non-metaphysical, and operational lexicon and discourse for a humanist ethics. According to Benyei (2003), "Murdoch's own moral philosophy has a great deal in common with the work of philosophers like Richard Rorty, Stanley Cavell, and Martha Nussbaum" (p. 151). However, I have several points of contention with their assertions. References: Benyei, T. (2003). Angelic omissions: Iris Murdoch's angels and ethical criticism. European Journal of English Studies, 72, 151-163.
