This paper presents Iris Murdoch's ontological argument for the existence of the Good. It discusses her interpretation of Anselm's argument, her own distinctive appropriation of it, as well as some of the merits of her version of the argument. In doing so, it also shows how the argument integrates some key Murdochian ideas: morality's wide scope, the basicness of vision to morality, moral realism, and Platonism.eng© 2022 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vorIris MurdochOntological argumentJournal article1468-0378
