A Criticism of Iris Murdoch's Moral System in Farabi's View
Abstract:
Virtue-based ethics, which had been totally obsolete in modern times, was revived by some western thinkers including Iris Murdoch in the second half of 20th century. Of course, Murdoch's exposition of this type of ethics has unique aspects. Farabi's moral system is also considered as an instance of virtue-based moral system. The present paper seeks to compare the components of Farabi's moral systems with those of Iris Murdoch's system and examine their similarities and differences. It taken for granted that there are many similarities between these two systems, because Farabi's moral system is completely Aristotelian and Murdoch's system is to some extent Aristotelian and to some other extent Platonic. However, there are considerable differences between these systems. In fact, non-actualized critiques directed by philosopher like Farabi against a thinker like Murdoch are those critiques which a perfect Aristotelian can direct towards a thinker who integrates some Aristotelian components with some non- Aristotelian ones. The present paper examines these critiques. Comparing and contrasting these two systems is, in fact, a comparison between Aristotelian ethics and an instance of virtue-based ethics in 20th century and will greatly contribute to a better understanding of virtue-based ethics.
