Essay on Morality and Relgion
Iris Murdoch–"Morality and Religion": Notes pg. 733, para 1: Murdoch's purpose is to question the
relationship of morality to religion, and look at their differences as well as the definition of religion.
–She claims this essay is moral philosophy and feels she must clarify whether her philosophy is
religious or not.
–She discusses how some believe religion really must be "breathed in" during childhood (taught to
children by their parents); otherwise, adults may feel they are just faking it–but, Murdoch notes,
those who are religious when younger will have a hard time giving it up as adults. pg. 733, para 2:

–But Murdoch admits that religious people experience a heightened consciousness, which resonates
with literary critic Matthew Arnold's claim that religion is "morality touched by emotion."
–Murdoch explains the great intensity and assuredness that religion provides: it is deep, holy,
absolute, engages one's imagination, and engages the whole person at every moment of his/her life,
and every moment matters.
–Murdoch concludes that a high level of morality without religion doesn't have any foundation.
–With religion, Christians have points of reference to give their morality foundation, like the image
of Christ, and Murdoch suggests that Christians adjust their attitudes to resonate with the image of
Christ in order to make their beliefs true. [So these images Christians create become for them the
truth even though they're man made.]
–Since images of Christ change over time, Christianity is a continuous adjustment to its images
throughout history. [suggesting a perpetuation of a fantasy or that religion changes as historical
periods change] pg. 737, para 5: Murdoch uses the example of a simple Welsh traveling pastor's
(Francis
Kilvert's) journal entries to demonstrate how religious reverence can make someone sound
comfortably dumb, naГЇve, simple, humble. Kilvert is so secure in his faith that he is like a child.
pg. 738, para 5 (con't): Wittgenstein (Murdoch's teacher) described why believers like
