Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Attention, for Iris Murdoch, is a central concept in more than one sense. On the one hand, it appears to be one of the keys, if not the key, to goodness, the task of the moral subject, and the pre-requisite for right action. On the other, attention can function as the hinge around which Murdoch’s general ethical worldview (including psychology and metaphysics) can be made to revolve, and through which it turns away from the mainstream contemporary philosophy of her time. Overwhelmingly inspired by Simone Weil, Murdoch presents attention as a truth-seeing and truth-discovering attitude and activity, animated by Platonic eros.This chapter is divided into two parts. While both seek to explain how Murdoch understands attention, the first is more exegetical, the second more interested in what we can do with Murdoch’s concept. In other words, I will ask two questions: what is attention for Murdoch, and how is it exercised? The two aspects are of course inseparable, but in order to understand Murdoch’s emphasis on attention and its importance in the moral life, we need to get clearer about Murdoch’s use of the word, signal some difficulties, and then figure out to what extent and in what ways Murdoch’s attention can guide us in our moral struggles.
