Obedience plays a central role in the history of Christian thought, with theologians such as Aquinas and St Benedict emphasising the importance of obeying superiors as a way of obeying God (ST3.105; Benedict & Fry 1998). Murdoch and Weil both want to retain the central place of obedience in ethics, but neither is fully committed to all the metaphysical doctrines of Christianity. Weil and Murdoch, I suggest, offer one alternative picture to this Christian ideal of obedience by appealing to a Platonic metaphysic, where a principle of "obedience to reality"(1951; 1970) enables us to live according to Truth and Goodness.

服从在基督教思想史上扮演着核心角色，阿奎那和圣本笃等神学家强调服从上级作为服从上帝的一种方式的重要性（ST 3.105; Benedict & Fry 1998）。默多克和韦尔都想保留服从在伦理学中的中心地位，但都没有完全致力于基督教的所有形而上学教义。我认为，韦尔和默多克通过诉诸柏拉图的形而上学，为这种基督教的服从理想提供了另一种图景，在柏拉图的形而上学中，“服从现实”（1951; 1970）的原则使我们能够按照真理和善良生活。
