Abstract
Iris Murdoch (1919-1999) renewed contemporary moral philosophy and assumed a critical and crucial role within the analytic tradition. Murdoch's philosophical reflection focuses on ethics considered in relation to language and the mind, to esthetic and religious experiences, to the various ways in which we know and describe other people and the world. This profile aims to present Murdoch's moral thought through three main axes: the critic of the fact-value distinction and her conception of the moral language; moral psychology and her perfectionist understanding of the moral life; Murdoch's metaphilosophical approach to the relationship between philosophical reflection and the moral life
