The literary star Iris Murdoch left behind a moral philosophy that deserves to be rediscovered today.
Morality has not been easy for a long time. Although nobody would say that he doesn’t try to be a good person, the “do-gooder” has long been a popular swear word for anyone who ventures even a few centimeters too far out of the private sphere. And even then, they shouldn’t feel too safe anymore. Anyone who thinks a little too energetically today about whether the good and right life in the face of climate change doesn’t also have to mean renouncing some of the consumer habits you have grown fond of, risks being immediately filed away as “morally pissed off”, category excessively strict, department annoyingly patronizing .
