Alasdair MacIntyre is one of the most controversial philosophers
and social theorists of our time. He opposes liberalism and
postmodernism with the teleological arguments of an updated
Thomistic Aristotelianism. It is this tradition, he claims, which
presents the best theory so far about the nature of rationality,
morality, and politics. This is the first reader of MacIntyre's
groundbreaking work. It includes extracts from and his own synopses
of two famous books from the 1980s, After Virtue and Whose Justice?
Which Rationality? as well as the whole of several shorter works
and two interviews. Together, these pieces constitute not only a
representative collection of his work but also the most powerful
and accessible presentation of his arguments yet available. The
MacIntyre Reader concludes with Kelvin Knight's clear and
insightful overview of MacIntyre's central ideas and their
development in his writings. Students will find this book an
excellent introduction to one of the great thinkers of our time.
