MacIntyre's project, here as elsewhere, is to put up a fight
against philosophical relativism. . . . The current form is the
'incommensurability,' so-called, of differing standpoints or
conceptual schemes. Mr. MacIntyre claims that different schools of
philosophy must differ fundamentally about what counts as a
rational way to settle intellectual differences. Reading between
the lines, one can see that he has in mind nationalities as well as
thinkers, and literary criticism as well as academic philosophy.
More explicitly, he labels and discusses three significantly
different standpoints: the encyclopedic, the genealogical and the
traditional. . . . [T]he chapters on the development of Christian
philosophy between Augustine and Duns Scotus are very interesting
indeed. . . . [MacIntyre] must be the past, present, future, and
all-time philosophical historians' historian of philosophy. -The
New York Times Book Review
