Alasdair MacIntyre explores some central philosophical, political
and moral claims of modernity and argues that a proper
understanding of human goods requires a rejection of these claims.
In a wide-ranging discussion, he considers how normative and
evaluative judgments are to be understood, how desire and practical
reasoning are to be characterized, what it is to have adequate
self-knowledge, and what part narrative plays in our understanding
of human lives. He asks, further, what it would be to understand
the modern condition from a neo-Aristotelian or Thomistic
perspective, and argues that Thomistic Aristotelianism, informed by
Marx's insights, provides us with resources for constructing a
contemporary politics and ethics which both enable and require us
to act against modernity from within modernity. This rich and
important book builds on and advances MacIntyre's thinking in
ethics and moral philosophy, and will be of great interest to
readers in both fields.
