                     Making a distinction between the image and the real is a key aspect of Iris Murdoch’s 20th century philosophy. Against the
                     backdrop of Web 2.0, where the depiction (and definition) of happiness and reality is ambiguous in ways more than metaphysical,
                     the philosophically loaded language of Murdoch's fictional women takes on a curious contemporary resonance - despite its dislocation.

                     metaphysical thinking and contemporary social media profile construction.
