Daftar Isi:
- The paper brings Iris Murdoch?s article, ?The Idea of Perfection,? of which three frames of ideas, Plato?ethics, inner experience, and moral concept were discussed. The goal of ?the idea of perfection? is?reaching Perfection by cultivating the inner experience? which the social behaviorists challenged thenotion of ?inner experience? as the core role. It is not tangible, therefore it is meaningless. Besides?inner experience, Murdoch?s premise lies in morality, which is ?a magnetic but inexhaustible reality.??Although no one can reach Perfection, it remains a measure of which human would direct their?lives and how far it will be for one can get close to it. Murdoch proposes ?love? for it is capable for??progressive attempt to see a particular object clearly.? The ways of love are understood in the moral?context, therefore, the choice of which is arbitrary in a sense that they remain as effort to be just and?impartial. Moreover, in the political realm, the effort is challenged at its hardest, but again, the inner?experience, moral choice, and compassion are a possibility. The idea of perfection is practiced in order?that the concept becomes a standard of operation in one?s life. Thus, the cultivation of the ideal of?perfection is a continuing inner exercise.
