Highly controversial when it was first published in 1981, Alasdair
MacIntyre's After Virtue has since established itself as a landmark
work in contemporary moral philosophy. In this book, MacIntyre
sought to address a crisis in moral language that he traced back to
a European Enlightenment that had made the formulation of moral
principles increasingly difficult. In the search for a way out of
this impasse, MacIntyre returns to an earlier strand of ethical
thinking, that of Aristotle, who emphasised the importance of
'virtue' to the ethical life. More than thirty years after its
original publication, After Virtue remains a work that is
impossible to ignore for anyone interested in our understanding of
ethics and morality today.
