"Existentialists and Mystics desribes the intellectual journey of a lifetime. This book is Murdoch's key. Readers will find much here to stimulate, entertain and edify. No one conveys the beauty and excitement of philosophy better than Murdoch." --Hilary Spurling, Daily Telegraph
"Murdoch, a wondrous writer and a careful student of the history of thought, is endowed a rare talent for philosophical writing--she offers, in accessible prose, insight into some of the great questoins that have preoccupied thinkers for centuries." --San Diego Union
"Tight, graceful writing, and a pleasure to read . . . [Murdoch's moral theory] has a real claim to our attention." --Elijah Millgram, The Boston Review
"A perceptive investigation into the symbiotic relationship of philosophy and literature." --The Guardian
