Description
This volume consists of a collection of original essays by moral and political philosophers, including Charles Taylor, David Miller and Philip Pettit, assessing the merits and limitations of Alisdair MacIntyre's work. The book also includes a reply by MacIntyre himself to his critics. Among the themes explored are: MacIntyre's historical arguments about the sources of the failure of modernity; the validity and relevance of his attempt to reinstate ideas of Aristotle and Aquinas as central to any satisfactory moral understanding; the effectiveness of his critique of modern liberalism; and the adequacy of key concepts, such as tradition and practice, in his analysis and argument. The book is concluded by MacIntyre responding to criticism and offering some thoughts about the direction of his future work. "After MacIntyre" should be of interest to students of philosophy, ethics and political theory.
