The author considers Wittgenstein’s thesis from his Tractatus logico-philosophicus: “ethics and aesthetics are one” (6.421) in the light of three statements which can be found in his Notebooks 1914–1916 : “Art is a kind of expression”; “The work of art is the object seen sub specie aeternitatis; and the good life is the world seen sub specie aeternitatis. This is the connection between art and ethics”; and “Life is serious, art is gay.” Next, the author approaches Iris Murdoch’s novel Under the Net in terms of Wittgenstein’s thesis that ethics and aesthetics are one because both belong to the sphere of what cannot be said and what can only be demonstrated. This novel was inspired by Wittgenstein’s philosophy expounded in his Tractatus... as well as by himself as a mentor for many students of philosophy, including Murdoch herself.

Autorka przeciwstawia sobie dwa obrazy moralności oraz wynikające z nich obrazy człowieka: pierwszy, reprezentowany przez behawiorystyczne i egzystencjalistyczne ujęcia w teoriach moralności, drugi zaproponowany przez Iris Murdoch, w którym akcentuje ona umiejętności widzenia i rozpoznawania istotnych moralnie cech. Jej zdaniem bowiem rozwój moralny podmiotu polega na zmianie jakości świadomości w wyniku działaniu uwagi w rozpoznawaniu moralnej rzeczywistości. Autorka po skontrastowaniu tych dwóch obrazów, konfrontuje podejście Murdoch z koncepcją tak rozumianego rozwoju moralnego bohatera jej powieści pt. Zacny uczeń, a także stawia problem uwagi w kontekście przyjmowanej przez Murdoch koncepcji transcendencji osób.

The author juxtaposes two views of morality and the views of man they imply: one represented by behaviourist and existentialist approaches in theories of morality and the other proposed by Iris Murdoch, who stresses the ability to see and recognise morally significant characteristics. In Murdoch’s opinion, a person’s moral development consists in a change in the quality of consciousness as a result of the activity of attention in exploring moral reality. After contrasting these two views, the author confronts Murdoch’s approach with the conception of moral development understood along these lines as exemplified in a character of her novel The Good Apprentice. She also puts the problem of attention into the context of Murdoch’s conception of the transcendence of persons.

This article explores the role of an international open society of mental health stakeholders in raising awareness of values and thereby reducing the vulnerability of psychiatry to abuse. There is evidence that hidden values play a key role in rendering psychiatry vulnerable to being used abusively for purposes of social or political control. Recent work in values-based practice aimed at raising awareness of values between people of different ethnic origins has shown the importance of what we call “values auto-blindness” – a lack of awareness of one’s own values as a key part of our background “life-world” – in driving differential rates of involuntary psychiatric treatment between ethnic groups. It is argued that the vulnerability of psychiatry to abuse stems from values auto-blindness operating on the judgments of rationality implicit in psychiatric diagnostic concepts. Acting like a “hall of mirrors,” an international open society of mental health stakeholders would counter the effects of values auto-blindness through enhanced mutual understanding of the values embedded in our respective life-worlds across and between the diverse perspectives of its constituents. The article concludes by noting that a model for the required open society is available in the contemporary interdisciplinary field of philosophy and psychiatry.
