Résumé

Moral education has to be based on an adequate philosophy of morality. Such a philosophy of morality includes not only moral philosophy but a plausible philosophy of mind. Iris Murdoch alleges that moral discourse since Kant has been vitiated by a false picture of the human mind. Her critique is primarily concerned with a just understanding of the relationship of mental life to action and of the meaning of moral freedom.
