ALEGRIA, Daniela. The Ethic of Love by Iris Murdoch. Eidos [online]. 2019, n.31, pp.64-90. ISSN 1692-8857.
The Irish philosopher Iris Murdoch proposes a moral theory based on love. This "ethics of love" is constituted by loving attention and imagination. According to Murdoch, moral theories such as the Kantian one (and utilitarian ethics, by extension) present important problems as they consider morality a matter of "moral algorithms". Dominant ethics from modernity until today have focused on universality, impartiality, moral principles, and so on. Murdoch points out that morality has to do, rather, with our ability to respond to other particular individuals, a particularity that is not reducible to any form of universality or complex impartiality.
