In this episode, we discuss Chapter 6 of Cusk’s Outline alongside an essay by Murdoch called The Idea of Perfection. In this essay, Murdoch argues that the way we pay attention to the world is ethically significant.

Speaker names:

• Dr. Scarlett Baron, Associate Professor in the English Department at UCL.
