How should we respond when some of our basic beliefs are put into
question? What makes a human body distinctively human? Why is truth
an important good? These are among the questions explored in this
2006 collection of essays by Alasdair MacIntyre, one of the most
creative and influential philosophers working today. Ten of
MacIntyre's most influential essays written over almost thirty
years are collected together here for the first time. They range
over such topics as the issues raised by different types of
relativism, what it is about human beings that cannot be understood
by the natural sciences, the relationship between the ends of life
and the ends of philosophical writing, and the relationship of
moral philosophy to contemporary social practice. They will appeal
to a wide range of readers across philosophy and especially in
moral philosophy, political philosophy, and theology.
