Produktbeschreibung
This book is a study of Alasdair MacIntyre's virtue
project. MacIntyre is placed in the context of the
virtue tradition he seeks to recover; special
attention is paid to Aristotle and Aquinas, both of
whom are important resources for MacIntyre. This
study then highlights key developments in the history
of ethics and explains the rise of the Enlightenment
and the displacement of the virtue tradition.
MacIntyre's influential critique of the Enlightenment
is outlined before a summary of his own virtue
project is detailed. The author then surveys and
responds to key critiques of MacIntyre's work and
ends with an examination of what MacIntyre's project
means to the church. This book provides a useful
introduction and summary of MacIntyre's project which
will be valuable to anyone interested in MacIntyre or
the revival of virtue ethics.
